IMSA is a school where people who are smart go - not only nerds. IMSA is a place with a VERY diverse student body, both socially as well as culturally. Everyone fits in somewhere. There are the robotic team members, nerds for the most part who are really nice people, and the larger majority who are fun-seeking students who can attain good grades with close to minimal effort. The fun-seeking students are then divided into several smaller groups. There are the hermits, who never leave their room, wing, or residential hall, the delinquents, and the all around super extroverts.

But on the topic of relationships, it is a school for gay people, meaning homosexuality is welcomed there by everyone. Deliberately trying to discriminate against gay people is not tolerated by anyone at IMSA.

The food at IMSA is good initially, but exquisitely repetitive. Almost no one sleeps. On average most people get around 6 to 7 hours of sleep. The homework is not fun at all.

The social life: for those who are intellectuals, or were too smart to fit in at their old school, this is the ideal place. Everyone is like-minded on some level, and everyone can find a core group of friends.

The sports teams suck. TRULY suck.

Overall, its a great place, but not what most people think.

"hey, what school do you go to?"
"I go to imsa, the Illinois Math and Science Academy."
"OHHH, you must be reallly smart or something, like a super nerd, right?"
"Yes, it is. I rarely sleep and spend hour every day doing homework in order to get the perfect 4.0 gpa that, coupled with my 36 act composite score, will let me walk right into Harvard."
