The best part of Bishop Dwenegr was because of the small number of students in the school, there was more of a chance to connect with your teacher and it was easier to make friends.

Most kids are from rich families so it's really easy to be isolated from some part of the school because there were those who were rich and others who are not so rich. I hope to see more diversity in the future.
