My first impression of Commonwealth was that it was a small school made up of highly intellectual people. And while this proved to be true, the social environment of the school also turned out to be way more interesting and dynamic than I had anticipated. I didn’t expect Commonwealth to make me feel so comfortable or that I would make friends with lots of people in my grade and in others.
