What I love most in all the years I have attend Upsala is the small community, where everyone knows you and no matter what you always have a friend or someone to talk to. Upsala has given me life time friends not all of them are in the same grade as me which is nice people we teach each other things. Another favorite of mine in Upsala is that I'm not scared to go up to my teacher and as them a question and if I'm not understanding something they are the first to help and won't judge you for not knowing something.
