Which is better?

Which is better: High school or college? Why?

 

[SarahlovesChrist]

My vote is in favor for college because I love the challenging material, being on the go, and living on my own...although I have a very close relationship with my family and miss them very much.

God Bless

I favor college because there is so much more independence. Nobody tells me when to go to sleep, when to wake, what to do, what to eat, what to wear. It's all up to me.

Also, I like the schedule flexibility. This semester I created my schedule so that my classes start at 11 and are over by 1. That means I have most of my day to do whatever I want. Next semester, I'm making my schedule so that I only have class monday-thursday giving me a three day weekend EVERY weekend.

The ambience. The college ambiance is so much more laid back than in high school. You don't have to deal with as much clique-stupidity. You can either join a group or not, but no one is going to give you a hard time either way. Nobody really cares what you wear, how you talk or who you hang with. It's much better than high school where the world was over if you took one small step out of the social norm. In college, that's encouraged.

So yeah, college is better.

I think college is better. I get to come to school late and I don't have 2 come everyday if i want another think i like about college is that people are more mature. i also like that the food tastes better. lol. College has been a great experience for me.

College. Not so many cliques and there is more flexibility when it comes to choosing your classes.

College.

Study what you want, pretty much when you want.

You don't have to deal with people who don't want to be there, because they just don't show up to class

Much more challenging material. I was never challenged intellectually until college.

College, because this is the last stop before I have to work for the rest of my life.


I doubt anyone will say high school, unless they are having a horrible time at college. For the record, I'm not particularly loving college, but its better than high school because you have more power.

University was a better experience than high school by far. Most people in university are somewhat more mature than those in high school. Therefore, there's less of the high school drama, bullying, etc. to deal with.

Comparing college to high school is like comparing high school to elementary school. Better people and more freedom.

High school was better for me only because I had three years of horrible roommate situations and some prejudice from other students regarding my disability! But, now I'm in graduate school, I'm loving that so much more than high school or college!

I disagree with that - elementary school was much better than high school. Even kindergarten students seemed more mature than a lot of the high school students I knew. There's something about high school that brings out the worst in a lot of people.

Actually I would chose elementary over high school, because as much fun as high school was, those naps...They were NIIIICE!!!

Thanks, guys! you are putting me at ease. (though not entirely because I haven't a CLUE on what I want to do)

College, since it seems that most of the people actually want to be here. I know there's the occasional guy or gal whose parents are making them attend. But for the most part I think people want to be here. And that makes the environment a little more enjoyable. But the teen angst seems to have followed me. *shrug* Watcha gonna do when Bobby is dating both Cindy and Shirl? Hee hee.

 

[Nienor]

College most definitely.

High school was great because I actually made sports teams. I suppose I culd be on the rugby team now as well, but I wouldn't know anyone on the teams. high school was cool because there were only 3000 people in the school so you knew a lot more of them, that and I grew up with some of them. In university I have made two friends in 4.5 years that I wasn't friends with in high school. 35 000 people on campus is a lot.

That being said, class material in university is way cooler and the culture around university is really hip. School feels almost like a different world, and so many people are so educated in different fields. Doing real lab work is crazy cool, and learning things that you know very few other people are aware of is fun too.

i have my car and dont have to get into so much of a relationship with my teachers
so college is better

In my experience, a lot of people matured out of going out of their way to make other people miserable by the time they were in high school.
