High school is required of all students. College is not.
High school has lots of rules. College has fewer rules.
High schools have homerooms. Colleges don’t.
High schools emphasize teachers teaching. Colleges emphasize learners learning.
In high school, you may have had the same daily class schedule. In college, the schedule can vary every day.
In high school, textbooks are given to you. In college, you have to buy your own.
In high school, teachers take class attendance. In college, instructors often do not.
High schools require a doctor’s note saying you were ill if you miss a class. Colleges don’t usually require this.
Often high-school students find they don’t spend much time on homework. Most college students find they have to devote a lot of time to studying.
High schools are structured environments: They allow less freedom, but they make fewer demands and hence require less responsibility. Colleges are unstructured environments: They allow you much more freedom, but they make many more demands and hence require more responsibility.
The chief characteristic of college, therefore, is that MORE IS REQUIRED OF YOU.
