First day at University High School (UHS)

Today was my first day at UHS and the difference to our school is astonishing. The atmosphere within and outside of class is very different to what I'm used to in Switzerland. The relationship of teacher and student is way more friendly and casual and the lessons are funnier and more interactive then in Switzerland. Also they have way fewer lessons a day but because of that they have a lot more homework to do. They usually have 3 to 6 lessons a day and school always ends at 2:30 pm which is way earlier then in Switzerland, which ends at 5 pm or 6 pm. Also the food at the cafeteria is way better then at our Mensa and there are more sitting possibilities then at the KEN. You can sit inside or outside at the nice and hot sun. Because of that people don't go out eating and stay at school and eat all together unlike in Switzerland where small groups of friends go to different restaurants. You also have a ping pong table where you and your friends can play table tennis and there’s a free gym you can go to to play basketball like I did. Because of school ending at 2:30 pm already you have enough time to go out with friends and do some fun stuff before dedicating yourself to homework.

I reached the end of my first day and I need to commit that I like it more then the swiss school life. Its more fun and the people are simply nicer.
