I grew up in Boca Raton, attending high school here was honestly the best experiences I've ever had. Moving away for college in a big city, really put into perspective how much I valued my lifestyle here. Coming back for summers and to visit family is my favorite thing to do no matter what time of the year it is, it always feels like summer.

Boca Raton is a beautiful and safe city with great beaches, restaurants, and parks. I love the warm weather and relaxing atmosphere, it is a great place to be a student. However, it can be expensive, and traffic can get busy at times. I wish there were more affordable housing and better public transportation. Overall, it's a peaceful and enjoyable place to live and study.

I like that Boca Raton is a safe and family friendly city. I would like to see more commercial zones closer to the residential districts as well as better public transportation.
