The school I went to (in high school): Old, decrepit, overrun with gangs and drugs, high dropout rate. The school I currently work at: Actually not too different from the one I went to, but I try to make a difference showing the kids that if I could make something of my life, so can they.

That's the irony of the wealthy schools, there's lots of kids using drugs because they've actually got money for them.

It's great, but it's a real hipster den. I tend to avoid the student café because of that.

High school: Small, everyone knew each other, pretty laid back, didn't learn ****.
College: Ranked 104th in the nation according to USNews, so it's pretty alright.

I don't know yet. I start tomorrow and it's a new school. But knowing the people I've gone to school with in recent years, it'll be full of drugs, sex, violence, and rampant racism.

I went to a high school in the lower valley, which was considered ghetto, as a transfer student so I could attend the health professions academy they offered. Stereotypically, it was known for cholos, pregnant girls and low testing scores among other things. The HP and its students kind of stuck together as a collective, and my experience being there honestly was significantly different than from what was referred to as "the main building". Of course there were plenty of smart kids not in the HP, but for the most part it seemed like they didn't care. Supposedly my high school has gone slightly to Hell since the 2010 class graduated, but I wouldn't really know about that. Just do your work and wait until college; it gets better.

The University I go to is super friendly. There are a lot of techies (its a computer science/engineering school) and everyone you meet will bend over backwards to help you out if you need it. The parties are fun but never get too out of control. The campus is stunning with a very modern design. The teachers are also very friendly and fair. The only down side is that they give a lot of work and the cost is high, like most colleges. It may sound like it but Im not a college recruit I just really enjoy it here.

The school is one of the best public schools in NJ, so rich people don't have to send their kids to private school. Its really strange to have super poor black kids in a school with the children of multimillionaires.

Most likely. It was quite interesting to watch from the classroom albeit distracting. The security guards probably had a better view.

It's boring. We have wannabe's, ghetto people, gangsters, skaters, hipsters, the list goes on.

We had about 10 fights last week. Only saw 3 of them. 8) My school has budget problems so you could imagine it sucks.

Alright. And i've found a starting point. So we can now all Live in happiness after i tell my story. You see, i go to a School By the Name Timberland High School "Home of the Wolves". Our Mascot is obviously a Wolf. Our Football team is the top priority of the School, yes it even goes ahead of learning, A lot of the players on the football team are suprisingly Smart, and are no doubt Popular. They appear to have everything going for them, which is pretty stereotypical for the most part. Football tends to get in the way for a lot of them, and even though they are smart...this causes them to flunk. Pretty sad to have everything right in front of them and then to waste it like that. I'm not hating on them or anything, but it ticks me off when people waste precious opportunity such as the things these players gain. But out of all of this, i digress. The teachers in our school are Odd, but most of them are nice. Mr. Hult is the ultimate example of this because he is one of the craziest SOB's you'll ever meet. He literally is a 45 year old man who Skateboards, Talks Anime, and does things like Seal impressions in the middle of class. Pretty cool, but wierd at the same time. There are also many other cool teachers who literally do everything in their power in hopes that you will take the opportunity to graduate. I Admire this factor about our school because had it not been for that very factor, a lot of my friends would probably have dropped out opposed to graduation. Then there are the Popular Kids. A lot of them literally are jerks. They think they are better than us, and yet when it comes down to it, they flunk a lot of their classes, talk back to the teachers, are fully influenced by drugs, are whores and such like that. Basically they may be popular, but you can't help but feel bad for them because they like to throw their life down the drain. A lot of the popular girls in our school wear make-up to the point where they look fake. A couple stand out to me greatly who will remain unnamed. The stereotyping in our school is greatly shown, but a lot of these trends and stereotype placements become friends with one another. For example, am probably listed as "Your basic average Joe" Because i simply am friends with People like "Jocks" and "Whores" and "Anime Freaks" and "Gamers", but then in our school you see like "Emos" Being friends with the "Pep Squad" or "Popular Kids"...it's really cool, but at the same time you do see stereotypes and cliques being formed. A big problem in our school is hot girls being hurt in relationships too much or not trusting men anymore...or having a problem and not being given a chance. this forces them to turn either Bi or **** Now i'm not going to get into this too much, but when a hot girl prefers another girl over me, i have a problem with this. And it's not because of me, it's because of the abuse they have recieved from other students and i find this sad. About 80% of the students in the school are acceptable as friends. Although there are many problems in our school, the people are all still really cool. There are a handfull of them out there that judge based on First impressions and don't believe on giving second chances and stuff like that, but the other 80 percent is just really cool. That's one of the favorable traits in our school. But another problem is when you have 1000 seniors and only about 500 of them graduate. Moving on though. The last thing i will talk about is the Anime Freaks. They start all sorts of Trouble, but it is funny. They are to be admired, because they really don't care what people say about them, they love to be themselves. They start these little, Cults, where each member draw (I'm not kidding) Draws vampire fang marks on their necks. This has passed, but it came to pass when Twilight Came out. They also come to school dressed up as Anime Characters and What not. That's about all i can think of for now, if you have questions...feel free to ask.

I go to a regional technical vocational high school. One week consists of class, the next week consists of each day in shop. It alternates each week. It's basically like going to half of a year of school, and the other half being in a shop or on a job site learning a trade. There are about a dozen or so different shops in my school. My shop is carpentry. Freshmen and sophomores have their shop week spent in shop doing cabinet making, juniors and seniors go on job sites to work. I'm a junior, had a few days of classes last week (short week) and tomorrow is the first day of shop. We're going to be learning how to construct buildings and houses. I'm excited. Classes are decent, you got your everyday normal classes. Some good friendly teachers (as well as a few lame ones but who cares about them). Lots of people, from several towns nearby attend. It's a pretty good school, lots of cool people. I like it a lot more than my regular old boring one. My dad had the same shop as me, even the same gym teacher! :P

No, you're wrong about that irony. That irony does not apply to my school, and my school is one of the wealthiest in Minnesota. Very much a straight edge school.

Sounds just like my school! We seriously have like 98% white people. And pretty much everyone graduates, and ~90% go to college. My school is big on alcohol, not so much the marijuana and such though.

I just graduated this year but my high school was alright. A lot of gangsters and skaters and drug use and pregnant people.....but it was good enough. I'm not sure about the dropout rate but I know it's a bit of a problem there. It's not a bad school and it was pretty big with about 2000 people I think. It looked like a castle which was the coolest part.

Yea, the local private school has the same drugs we do. The only difference is that they cost more lol.

My old one had a real old feel to it, very diverse as well. Loved a lot of the people but it had drugs, gangs, and it's fair amount of problems.

Now I go to one which is much less diverse (mainly white with a sizable Hispanic population), VERY small especially for the size of the student body, tons of drugs and parties (even a high school fraternity, which is never good). But overall it's a safer environment than my old one and I love the people here.

My college is a pretty typical state university, I suppose. There are nearly 15,000 students. The campus is nice and a good size (not too big, not too small). The buildings are adequate. It's clean. The people are pretty nice overall...basically everyone is from North Dakota, Minnesota, South Dakota, Manitoba, or they're international students. There's probably an average amount of drinking and pot smoking. I wouldn't say that it's worse or better than the average school. The academic programs are pretty decent, especially engineering, architecture, agriculture, computer science, and pharmacy.

My high school had about 1,300 students. All of the programs were pretty much the best in the city and maybe even the state. It was relatively clean and friendly and not overly cliquey. There was a bit of a drug 'problem,' I guess you could say. Overall it was pleasant enough for a high school.
