I adore Woods! It has such a unique environment that is kind and supporting and completely lacking in the malicious groups of students that I have experienced at other schools.

It's so easy to make friends there. When I first came to Woods, I had had very bad experiences at other schools and I didn't trust anyone, but(if you read this Mr. Brian, I apologize for my comma splices and run on sentences and this randomly inserted apology) everyone was kind and caring and this is the best school ever!
