Senior: Don Bosco has been the school that really brought me into reality. I started my first day as a freshman not knowing anything but going in with confidence. When I met the faculty I told them exactly that they would know my name by heart because I was going to make an impact. Don Bosco had brought the leadership characteristics out of me whether it be academically or through extra-curricular. With rigorous courses and highly developed and trained faculty and staff, they provided courses for me that allowed me to learn and apply it to my life. They ensure their students are also prepared for the real world, having an amazing corporate work study program within the curriculum. This gives an advantage to us students because we are able to build a network beyond just their high school career. The school provides nothing but guaranteed advantage upon future life endeavors....

Neighborhood in Bellevue, WA
Current Resident: Wilburton is the sweet spot in Bellevue, especially for families. Close-in to downtown and easy to get to the 405, 90, and 520 - and to light rail, from 2023. Excellent elementary school feeding into Chinook and Bellevue High. Hundreds of acres of parks, including the Botanical Gardens, Wilburton Hill, and Kelsey Creek Park. Yet still easier to buy or rent than neighborhoods west of the 405, which are fairly similar in character but much much more expensive.... Read 5 reviews

Town in Washington
Current Resident: I grew up in Redmond and it’s a great place to live if you can afford it (it’s not uncommon to be surrounded by Teslas on the roads). It’s growing up more now with new apartment buildings going in, but there’s still not much to do in the city itself. That’s okay though, it’s surrounded by nature, other great cities like Kirkland, Woodinville, and Bellevue, and is only 20 mins from Seattle. It’s also super diverse, over 60% of students in the school district are non-white. There are tons of Indian and Asian people who work at Microsoft and Amazon, I sometimes feel like a minority as a white person, but I love all the different cultures. My only qualm is how liberal it is, I’m conservative and definitely don’t feel safe expressing my views because people can be pretty hateful. Also, the Seattle freeze is real and it’s really hard for newcomers to make friends. But overall, it’s a really lovely place to live!... Read 111 reviews
