This town is very simple. There's nothing memorable about it. The education has so much room to be better but there's a lack of community involvement to make it better. Most adults in the town work a lot and don't have enough time for their kids. This is reflected in student behavior. But, this town does have heart. There's a sense of community when the time comes. I can't think of any other town as convenient as this one. It's in the middle of everything without the craziness of living in an overwhelming town in Norther Jersey. There's a lot of room for improvement but I can safely say this town in average.
Hillside is a small town embedded in the heart of New Jersey. Despite it being a nice town, there is quite some room for improvement, beginning with the educational system. Going to the public schools in Hillside I observed lots of potential within the students studying there. However the teachers have even greater potential to learn how to deal with them.
Some parts of hillside are very nice, but there is always something that goes on. On my street, there is constantly car accidents. I feel as though there should be something done or put on the road to help avoid as many accidents from happening and to stop people from speeding .
