What do you like about your school?

One thing I like my school is that it's the only one closet to my neighborhood that has a class for autistic students (and yes, I'm in it.)

Plus, some friendly students and teachers.

It's really accepting of people, there's very little clicks or gang activity and stuff like that, it's really artsy and creative- but has a pretty good business section too. I love most of the teachers as well

I am going to a small community college near my place. Only a five minute drive from home. Not a lot of troublesome kids attending. Overall, I am enjoying this place.

I've been out of school for a few years. When I was in school (college), the great part was the bunch of hippies that I hung out with outside of class. We partook in all sorts of Dionysian activities and discussed crazy philosophical and musical/artistic stuff and it was excellent. It was my first time actually having a real group of friends, and I was unbelievably greatful (my liver begs to differ... haha). I certainly grew more from my interactions with them than the banal subject matter of my classes (Dr's Jennings, Farley and Loftis excluded - they rocked and earned my undying respect).

Re: Highschool, pretty much, I enjoyed the company of my undiagnosed AS girlfriend, my HFA friend, Jason and my buddy Don. I liked hockey and music classes. Also, I liked the rural environment. Otherwise, HS was hell. Pardon my obtruseness here, I am somewhat innebriated. See L&D post. (forthcoming in about 20 mins... It is a pain in the kiester to write something explicitly about myself without being prompted... I'm guessing that most of you can relate).

The best bit was leaving on the last day.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

That I only have around 2 years to go before I finish. Oh and because I'll have more free time starting next school year because my timetable is less.

Having a university within walking distance is always good

In high school, most of the teachers, especially my vice principal..she was the best.


In college, the instructors are great and help alot.I also like the Farside food and drinks and the computers are also fun.There is also a Pizza 73, a Tim Horton's, and a Starbucks in the school

The college I just graduated from I liked for a number of reasons. I had a bunch of excellent professors who gave me great stories to bring home and just encouraged me to think, argue and develop my ideas. Classes were generally small and allowed for a fair amount of individualized attention, but at the same time didn't push working in groups. The campus itself was beautiful, as was the surrounding town. Both the staff at the college and the townspeople at my favorite restaurants and stores were incredibly polite and helpful, and often treated me like a friend. Though initially I had some social problems, I eventually found some really nice and awesome people who I will hopefully keep up contact with in the coming years. Also, I held my longest-lasting and best job to date at a school office, and am still in contact on friendly rather than hierarchical terms with the people I worked for. Lastly, through people, classes and just the general experience, my college introduced me to a lot of things I didn't know about but now like or am interested in - for instance, Terry Pratchett novels, udon soup, formalized roleplaying games and body positivism/fat activism. Eventually I hope I can go back to the town where the school is and stay for a while.

I don't know much about my law school yet, because it doesn't start for two weeks, but from what I can tell from visiting, people there are very friendly as well. The security guards were willing to retry doing my student ID numerous times until I was satisfied and offered to show me to my assigned locker, and the bookstore people were funny and helpful, so as far as I can tell, I made the right choice.

Probably the uniform.
It really feels soft nice to wear and looks good, i sleep in it occasionally.

The P.E. teachers are awesome, because of the way they organise the groups and lessons.
You get rewarded for effort rather then success as well.

The school also has a 100% no tolerance policy in bullying; if someone bullies someone else the Police are called round and because of that hardly anyone gets bullied.

Nothing now, but in the 8-10th or 9-10th grade i used to be happy, because i liked to spend almost all the recesses inside the toilet, locking myself in one of them and watxhing everything from a little perverted jokes to cool jokes on the walls, i never did go there again after a guy pissed at one of the toilt seats, i sat down..

The thing I liked best about my high school was that it had a high percentage of performing arts, visual arts, and Gifted students, so there were plenty of other eccentrics to (eventually) befriend.

I like that my school is academically inclined and that thus most people there are concerned about their achievements and work hard. I love competition.

I also like how most of my teachers and guidance counsellors are very understanding and tolerant of me. I've had a couple of meltdowns during which I did things that could potentially get me suspended, but I've never gotten suspended, and I'm thankful for that.

I also like how it's a very old building, and in our reception hall, on the walls, there are original paintings by a member of the Group of Seven. Pretty awesome, isn't it?

Something else I really like are the fact that the are murals everywhere! For grade 12 for the people in the Visual Arts program at our school, their main project is to make a mural on whatever they want (as long as the nudity is minimal, it is still a school after all), and those murals are always so stunning (even the ones I don't like) because of the amount of effort that's put into them. These people have such talent, and I love seeing that every day at school.
The assemblies are awesome too, because there is such talent being shown off in them. The acting is like a real play, the dance is beautifully choreographed and looks like a real dance performance, and the music is out of this world! It's not the typical stuff you see in school productions, and you feel like you're getting the best deal in the world to watch these wonderful performances for free!
I like that my school is not only artistically driven but also pretty academically driven too.

It makes all the other schools look better by comparison.

That I go to an art high school!! ! I loveit to death! I also love dorming at the school! My roommate is really cool and we share a lot of the same interests. I also have a TON of amazing friends and I've only been going to it for a week. I'm going to the school for theater. I wanna become a famous actor. We, the people in the theater department are the coolest of the cool. We're all really friendly with eachother and only after a week after starting to become really close to each other!
