Neighborhood in Richardson, TX
Current Resident: Richardson is a great place to live, and Arapaho exemplifies that wonderfully. There are many great local restaurants, coffee shops, and other businesses. The parks are nice for playing with children, walking dogs, having a picnic, or just relaxing. Arapaho has many families, but also people older and younger. It is a nice place to walk around, and the neighborhood schools are nice. The proximity to the city is great!... Read 4 reviews

Suburb of Fort Worth, TX
Current Resident: Living in Southlake is very nice and is the epitome of the basic upper middle class and higher class suburban. I like the town's diversity and acceptance of others. There is a lot to do including many shopping centers, restaurants, and town events. There is a lot of town spirit and support for schools and sports teams. I like that the whole town comes out for Friday night lights and high school football even if you don't know anyone playing you are there to cheer on the Dragons. Another great thing about Southlake is the cleanliness and attention to detail on every holiday. The whole city decorates and lights up during the holiday season and is very celebratory of all holidays including Christmas, Hanuka, and Holi Festival. One thing I would like to see improved is the overall kindness of the town and law enforcement. Law enforcement is rarely available. I would also like to see a change in the elementary schools as the public school system is overcrowded with the number of students.... Read 115 reviews

Niche User: The general atmosphere of this area is friendly, safe, and busy. The community is close, the policemen and firemen are always available and easily accessible, there tons of small businesses coming and going. If I could choose to live here again I would. However, my only complaint is that the area's ethnic and political diversity is very small. A good portion of the are is white and conservative. I believe that an are should consist of an equal mix of conservatives and liberals. With the area being in Texas, the area's current ethnic and political statistics are not of any surprise. With that said, compared to everywhere else in the country, I personally feel that this area is definitely one of the best places for people who want to be involved in a tight knit community and want to live in a small town with a touch of the big city....

Junior: I have spent almost 13 years in the Advantage Academy schools and have seen it through it all. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Obviously, I won't lie and say it hasn't had its faults. Both my elementary, middle, and chunks of high school career being filled with some unruly people. Both student and teachers alike. But overall, Advantage Academy continues to be the underdog in the corner of the room. Many teachers, I can proudly say, help me grow and sharpen my already established skills. Creating environments where I feel both safe and content. Without the involvement from my teachers, I honestly don't believe I could have succeeded or gotten to where I am today. Advantage Academy will always have a special place in my heart. My dysfunctional, yet loving family I keep close to my heart. I truly believe the addition of these people in my life have made me a better person, wholeheartedly.... Read 71 reviews

Suburb of Dallas, TX
Current Resident: Throughout my experiences in Coppell, it was very relaxing and chill. It's a very small suburban area in Texas, but a lot of popular cities are connected. For example, Irving and Lewisville are very close to where I live. The food is good, the people are friendly, and the atmosphere is very relaxing. I would change some of the local restaurants they have since they're not that many, and expand more so people would know about Coppell.... Read 228 reviews

Current Resident: Frisco, Texas has been a home to me since I was three years old. As an American-Muslim, and Pakistani-American, it has always been hard to find people who are of the same religion and ethnicity as me. When my family and I came to Frisco we were able to find a welcoming Muslim community from which we could find friends and learn. The South Asian community is also large, and because of this, my family has been able to create life long friendships with these families. Frisco has nice schools as well, and acts as an overall safe environment to raise a family. If you are looking for diversity and a fruitful city to live in, I suggest Frisco, Texas! My experience in this city as a teenager has been amazing.... Read 704 reviews

Current Resident: University Park is the perfect mix. It is affluent, but not as flashy and gaudy as Highland Park. It is very safe at all hours. It is super close to Uptown and extremely easy to access all parts of Dallas in under 20 minutes even in traffic. One of my favourite parts is that it actually has a “pulse”. I used to live in Bluffview where you don’t know if your neighbours are alive or dead. It felt scarily quiet, and I didn’t know anybody there. UP will have people walking their dogs, parties, and other events always. Also it has great shopping and restaurants.... Read 23 reviews

Current Resident: The community is generally very welcoming and kind. The town itself is pretty with a good amount of green spaces and trees. There are plenty of parks with beautiful trails within walking distance of my house. Many parks have multiple playgrounds very suitable and safe for children. Many parks also have public basketball and tenis courts. There are plenty of restaurants and supermarkets within a comfortable distance from home. The roads throughout the town are very large; however, even with this traffic can still be heavy. Flower Mound is not super pedestrian friendly with crosswalks being few and far between, but the sidewalks are generally very nice. Overall, Flower Mound is a great place to live, but there is always room for improvement.... Read 322 reviews

Current Resident: I have been at Sunnyvale School District from kindergarten year to my Senior year. Growing up here I have made some of my closest friends. During my time at the high school, I've had an amazing learning experience. The teachers constantly work with me, no matter how many days I show up for tutoring. In addition, I was pushed to reach my full potential and feel deeply prepared for college. In addition, each of the programs thrive. The students put in full amounts of effort to succeed. Also, each program supports the next. Overall, Sunnyvale High School is a flourishing school. The town in itself is just as amazing. It is full of community, where everyone works together.

Current Resident: Moving from a smaller town in the midwest, to Plano, Texas has been one of the best decisions that I've made so far. The people here in Plano are so diverse, and so hospitable! I've encountered so many people in public who have been so warm and welcoming; it's honestly a culture shock. I would also say that, overall, the city of Plano is fairly clean and safe. In the previous town that I lived in, potholes were rampant, and the roads needed servicing. As mind-boggling as this may sound, I have not encountered a pothole yet (my car thanks me)! Living in Texas has been quite the joy, and there's an abundance of amazing towns and cities; however, Plano has it's own je ne sais quoi that makes it stand out.

Senior: Humans are born emotional, irrational and prone to superficial desires. Since I am a human, I am not inevitable to all of the above. In the beginning, I was very emotional, emotional to all sort of things for example my own dignity. And such and state of being emotional was harmony time and time day by day month by month. In the beginning of my semester in this campus, I was in such a state of mind, a toxic state of mind. However, it is in the school or the experience of me, studying abroad, getting in touch with other cultures and religions and belief systems, strengthen beliefs and make me not so emotional. Words can’t describe how I changed under the instruction of the school thanks to the arduous works labors and other sorts of efforts both by my teachers as well as classmates. I am deeply thankful for how old is school in capsules the emotional needs of more than children, more than generation Z people only in this country, but in the world. Supra.... Read 42 reviews
