BRHS will definitely prepare you for college academically. The rigor of the courses teach you to have a good work ethic, which is really important for college.
As for the guidance counselors, I was lucky enough to have a great guidance counselor who helped me every step of the way during the college application/admission process. However, not everyone shared such an experience, and many of my friends complained that they felt pressured to apply/not apply to certain schools by their counselor.
BRHS has many clubs, but some die within a few months because members aren't interested. You'll quickly realize that Speech & Debate, Mock Trial, and Model UN Nations are some of the few clubs which are worth joining.
Because the school is so big, you don't have to worry about making friends. There will always be people who you'll share interests with and just vibe with.
Overall, BRHS has its pros and cons, but just make the most of it and enjoy your time there; it flies by very quickly!

I think Bridgewater-Raritan High School is a very diversified and student-oriented school that gives students the opportunity to explore their interests while learning necessary topics. This past year has been more difficult with virtual and hybrid instruction, but the district needs to find a better idea of how they can support students academically during these uncertain times. They fail to realize how little us students have genuinely learned this year because our grades simply reflect our ability to recall information and do not reflect our understanding. For this reason, I believe BRHS has some aspects of their hybrid/virtual education to work on, but they are headed in the right direction. I also think they should create classes to prepare students for the real world, beyond college, with topics including taxes, mortgages, and credit. This would benefit many students, especially those who do not plan to attend college.
I love being part of such a big and engaging school district. I love going to football games, basketball games, pep rally, and so much more! Our school does a good job of bringing fun into everyday classes or activities. Our school feels like so much more than just a school. Everyone has opportunities to succeed if they are willing to try. I am lucky to be part of this community. Though it is such a great high school, one thing they could improve on is putting students health and wellness above their grades. That being said I would not want to go to high school anywhere else. I miss going to this school everyday.
