Here is my honest opinion. No hate, no shame, no slander.
USchool has so many different people, staff, and communities. HOWEVER: this school is very clique-y. I suggest meeting a few people and making friends with them so you can enter a clique or small group of some sort. The staff is generally kind! Food could use a fix. It's either a hit or miss... I have learned so much from this school so far, the resources are outstanding: HUGE University library (4 floors), media center to record projects and be with friends, teachers are kind enough to give extra help hours and help you through whatever. Campus is a large size foe high school and we have a 20-min break daily, (I would be super stressed without it) and a good 45 min lunch. HOWEVER, keep in mind this is a very creative project-based school, you will likely be assigned lots of projects with reasonable due dates. If you are more technical and like good old-fashioned tests, this isn't the place for you. OVERALL I enjoy USchool!

Incredible school, teachers, staff, management. We moved from Portugal to the US and NSU staff was excellent in integrating our daughters. Teachers are excellent and the way they balance hard skill and soft skill learning, along with citizenship is flawless. Transparent communication, lots of clubs and sports activities, and great involving parents. Amazing Theatre program. Your children will love it.
The opportunities are endless! Any student can be involved in as many clubs, honor societies, sports, and extra curricular activities as their schedule will allow! Most teachers have their students best interests at heart and truly prepare them for getting into college. The food is great with many options fitting all dietary needs including vegan! The theatre program is the schools best quality with outstanding opportunities to learn, grow, and participate. The arts teachers will take time out of their day to show they really care about their students by helping them achieve their goals. NSU University School has everything your child needs to get into the college of their dreams and be a success!
