University Neighborhood High School
UNHS is amazing! at first i hated the school, mostly because of dress code. But by the time i became a junior, that didnt even matter. Its an amazing experience, i love how the teachers actually interact with students and are always there for us. The school is not too big, so there arent too many conflicts because everyone pretty much knows each other or have seen each other.
There are so many things to do, for example theres the student government, dance class(the annual informances are truley great).
Students have traveled to Washington DC, Philadelphia, Paris, London, Denmark and for February 2010 there's gonna be trips to Costa Rica and Japan.
people always think i go to an advanced school when i tell them the many opportunities ive had. and im proud to say its just your average new york city public school.

Overal my thoughts of the school is very positive . The teachers are great and so is the principle.I ENJOY GOING TO u.n.h.s because i like the classes they give. There are some thngs that should be taking in consideration by staff,teachers and security many kids dont feel safe at the school because of gangs. i feel if the security was more alert thing will be different . i can hardley wait to begin my sophmore year at unhs this coming september.
