Chicago- February 2018We had nearly 20 students attend the University of Chicago's Model United Nations conference in February 2018, which was held at the Palmer Hilton Hotel. Over 4 days, delegates from West Bloomfield High School discussed issues ranging from the South American Drug Trade to Mining in Outer Space. We also visited numerous Chicago tourist sights, including Shedd Aquarium, The Bean and Water Tower Mall.

New York City- 2016 and 2017In the city home to the real United Nations building, we went to the NHSMUN conference for two years straight, which is held at the Hilton Midtown Manhattan. Throughout the two years, issues at this conference have ranged from the conflict in the South China Sea to the regulation of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies (which was discussed in 2015, way before Bitcoin was mainstream or "hip!"). We, as we have done at every other conference, have seen the sights of New York, and both years we attended the NHSMUN closing ceremonies at the real United Nations building, sitting on the UN floor.
