HIGHSCHOOL VS COLLEGE

Going to the college is a big step for me. When I was thinking about it, it's make me nervous and sometimes excited. I got mixed feeling. I was wondering about the experience in the college. Even though I already been study at a boarding school about 5 years, but I still think there must be the different between college lifestyle and high school lifestyle. Now, I continued my study at a college in Perak. here are a few differences that most of the student will experience when they enter to the college lifestyle.


HIGH SCHOOL VS COLLEGE : SCHEDULE.
First of all is the schedule. As you remember, when we were in high school, most of classes and tutorials are arranged by our teachers. Once you enter the college, you have to manage everything by yourself. I have to arrange my schedule in co-curricular activities and academic life that fit with my personality and limits. I have to make sure that I have a flexible time to study.

HIGH SCHOOL VS COLLEGE : ROOMMATES.
Next, I would like to write about roommates. A lot of us have their own room and if we shared the room, it will be with our sibling. Since I was a boarding school's student, I do not worry about sharing room because I used to it. I just have to adapt with my new roommates. Believe me, having roommates will possible be an advantage for you. They can be your company to adapt with the college environment. I always shared food and some money to buy groceries. In my opinion, roommates usually bring benefit to your college life and please always keep in your mind that what you give, you get back.

HIGH SCHOOL VS COLLEGE : ASSIGNMENT.
The most exciting thing is, the way of work given also different between high school and the college. I remember when I had to finished up all the homework given by myself and sometimes the teacher always help us to find the correct answers. when you are in the college, there is no more homework that can be finished by one night. We will get a lots of assignment usually according to a group. This is to ensure us to discuss with the member of the group about the topic that we do not understand and make the right conclusion.
As the conclusion, the college lifestyle is very different from the high school lifestyle. Both of it has their own specialty and advantages. We will know how to be more independent and confident with ourself. But believe me, memories at the high school and college will never be forgotten for the rest of your life.
