IMSA unquestionably endows students with the ability to personalize their education and realize their academic potential. The faculty at IMSA is wonderful. My teachers support and guide my learning and development. Teachers at IMSA treat students with a great amount of care and respect. They credit me with the ability to understand things and be responsible for my own actions.
Residential life is a different matter.
There are many wonderful RCs. I think it is an incredibly hard job to fulfill a role as a residential counselor. However, it is frustrating and disturbing to me that, whereas I am treated with respect by teachers who are much older, and for the most part more intellectually adept than I, someone who is four years older than I treats me like I am not at all capable of being responsible for myself. So many times, RCs criticize students for minor infringements on the rules. Often, RCs fail to consider or understand the complete situation.
