HIGH SCHOOL VS COLLEGE

    College and high school share the same common goal. But the truth is, there are a lot of differences between college and high school. In fact, college and high school are completely different experiences. this change is a huge step that a student will either adjust to or struggle with. The more prepared a person is to face the differences, the more successful they might be in the long run.

    In high school, most teachers will let you turn in your homework late if you give an excuse such as "I forgot it at home". In college if you give you professor one of these excuse they will say "Too bad". There are also a lot more tests in high school. Usually, there is a test every week or two. Although there are more tests, the work is not as hard.

    High school is the first step to a higher level or learning. This place equips us with the proper knowledge needed in order to survive college and other higher levels of learning. The topics being thought in high school are generalized in basic Math, Science, English, Filipino, and many other subjects. The students are more relaxed and their responsibilities are not that complicated and heavy in a sence that there are fewer requirements and their due dates are not immediate. Compared to the time schedule of college students, a high school pupil's schedule is much more fixed because the standard call time is at 7:30p.m. Students are much more immature and need guidance in order to lead fulfilling lives.

    Furthermore, one of the biggest changes between in high school and college is attendance. College professors rarely pay attention to the attendance habits of their students and do not make any effort to ensure that all their students pass or score good grades in their subjects. If student misses a class, a college professor is unlikely to follow up and give the student the notes he missed. Instead, it will be up to the student to figure out from whom to get the notes that he missed when he did not attend class.  In high school, students are penalized for missing class. At least at high school, we were only allowed to miss a certain number of day.

    Other difference is that, in college you pick your classes according to what you want in major in but in high school you can pick your elective classes and most of the classes are already picked out for you as part of the curiculum. You can take as many classes as you want in college. Then, in high school students can count on parents and teachers to remind them of your responsibilities and to give regular guidance in setting properties. In college, students must balance their own responsibilities, and set priorities.

    People can really see the distinctive these two pase in ife; however, there are also some similarities you will carry on during your transition into college lives. Friends from your school will always be there for you especially when you keep a constant connection between them. Studying habits such as cramming for a test or homework, creating during a test or copying another student's homework, breaking the rules and disciplinary sanctions are still evident in both high scholl and college.

    We all know that everyone goes through high school and college. We can compare that college is much more challenging and complex than high school. This is a higher level of learnin, thus, requiring more time, effort as well devotion to studies. Even though college is very tiring times, I still believe that college is much more ejoyable and exciting. To have that kind of freedom in your schedule is very rewarding; however, proper judgment is a must since we are all mature students now.
