I have spent much of my time at Dexter Southfield involved with Model UN. I have been able to travel to new cities and attend prestigious conferences with the help of administration, teachers, and peers.

I have had a great experience at Dexter Southfield. Although some of my teachers, I feel, have not been fit for their position at Dexter Southfield, I feel prepared for the college experience after attendance.

The food got continously worse to the point where for lunch, we would have salad. The teachers don't pay attention to homework, are childish, and don't undersand what they teach to the students.
