  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

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.

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.

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! :D

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

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!!! :p

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? :doh: Hee hee.

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.

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.
