High School Vs. College

High school vs. College

In life many things have similarities and contrasting attributes. Some say that college and high school are very common; I have found them to be undoubtedly different. High school and college are extraordinarily different in many ways. I enjoy college more than I did high school. I have more control over my education in college.

They have the choice to decide if they want to attend class that day or not. Unlike high school students, college students do not have classes for eight hours a day consecutively. They are able to decide what they are going to do with the rest of their time off for the day.

H For example if I needed help with a math assignment I could go to my teacher after school each day if I needed it. In college a student would go to their professor during office hours or a student success center. College students have an enormous
