Hermitage was a lot of fun going through but throughout the years it got a lil old and boring, and by my senior year I was just ready to go. I loved playing sports there though the students coaches faculty and just the environment was amazing. And their stem classes such as math, science, and physics I loved those classes all through high school.

Honestly I like Hermitage because of how diverse it was. If you want some place to experience new people this is the place to go.
