Going from High School to College can be a big step we make in our life. When I graduated from high school and jumped straight into college I found out there were many differences between the two. Some include high school teachers and college professors, responsibility requirements, classes, time management, scheduling.
In High School, teachers are always keeping track of every single student. They guide us throughout our four years of high school and help us graduate. Mostly every teacher helps students by reminding them of any assignments and homework that is due. If a student happens to miss class or not pay attention throughout the whole class period, the student can just copy someone else’s notes and get back on track. Most of the time, teachers will also go over the material the student had missed that day and also give him/her any homework assignments they missed. Class work can be seen easy since you have different ways of easy access for help. The amount of work given in High School is a lot but it is not that complicated nor time consuming. Teachers help us prepare for tests by giving us study guides and hints of what will be on the test which makes it easier for us students to pass the class and have no excuse of failing. We mostly depend on our teachers and parents if we need any help with anything that is class related.
Our high school responsibility requirements are different than in college. Attending high school is more restrictive when it comes to time
In high school, homework is pretty ridiculous. Teachers would assign homework every day and not only that, but they would check it every day as well. If it wasn’t perfect we would get points taken off and we would have to re-do the problems we got wrong. Teachers are also unreasonably lenient in high school too. For example, the “I left my paper at home, can I turn it in next class?” excuse is okay
Choosing classes in high school were easier to think about than it was in college. High school education overrules almost everything, whether it is work, sports, hobbies, or even personal interests. What this means is your workplace can't make your work days where you are in school. Sports in high school won't allow you to play
High School and College are both educational institutes for a student to grow and expand their knowledge. The People who instill knowledge in students are none other than Professors/Teachers. Both places are chock-full of experiences and filled with many memories. A student graduates from High School and again in College... Both play an important role in making a person into a productive member of society.
Many students know the differences and similitudes between high school classrooms and college classrooms. Students find more enjoyable being a college student than being a high school student. There is more freedom that is allowed for student compare to high school students. In college, the way you take your notes, the people and the class selection are a few examples of how the education in college is less restrictive as the education in high school.
Classes are the second main reason high school is different from college. Classes in high school consist of no more that 25-30 students. Counselors usually arrange your schedule
The first difference between a college and a high school is the amount of self-discipline expected. Many college professors instruct their class and students the best way they can, but it is up to the student to put in the work outside the classroom and is also up to the student how they desire to learn and educate themselves. The amount of effort put in determines how much the student gets benefited from taking the class. Either they acquire a significant amount of knowledge from the course or very
Meanwhile attending high school is mandatory, attending college is optional for everyone. Due to attendance in high school being mandatory, it tends to lead to students not wanting to be there. This eventually leads into students not wanting to participate or do what is expected of them. Such behaviors are the reason why high schools tends to guide students to set their priorities and remind them of their responsibilities daily. Conversely, attending college is an option that people chose to take, which means that most of the attendees actually want to be there. It is because of the voluntary attendance that students are responsible for themselves and they must set their own priorities since no one
High school is the first step to a higher level of learning and comprehension. This equips us with the proper knowledge needed in order to not only survive, but also thrive during college and/or graduate school. The topics being taught in high school are generalized. Basic Math, Science, English, are required in order to graduate high school. The students have a more relaxed atmosphere – both at home and school -- and their responsibilities are few. What responsibilities they do shoulder are not complicated and heavy. There are fewer requirements and their due dates are not immediate. Your teachers keep a watchful eye on your progress and will reach out to you or your family if your grades are faltering. Parents also provide help, whether that
High school is the first step of any higher level of educations. High school helps us to get proper knowledge that we need in order to survive the college or any other higher levels of the educational stage. It’s like a root of a tree. If the root is strong, the body and branches of the tree will stand out. And it helps to grow the tree wider and green to reach the satisfaction. The topics being taught in high school are generalized in basic Math, Science, English, Spanish, and many other subjects. In high school, my life was more relaxed. But I still had responsibilities to complete my tasks like homeworks, assignments etc. These responsibilities were not that complicated or heavy; in a sense that there were fewer requirements and
When one enters High school they have to meet with their guidance counselor to inform them of what is expected of them while in high school. That counselor gives them requirements that they have to complete as well as a plan to help them succeed while in high school. Everything is pretty much mapped out in High school. As the weeks progress while in High school the counselors have regular meetings with students to make sure they are on the right track and they are on their way to graduating. The entire four years in High school there are people telling you what is expected of you. High school teachers are constantly on top of students about completing work and passes their classes. However, in College, there aren't people
High school and college can be easily compared and contrasted by anyone but not everyone is aware of the similarities and differences between them. Once the academic requirements, time management and living environments are considered then it is easier to compare the two. High school equips and prepares a person for the next level which is college. The topics that are taught in high school are considered basic compared
The purpose of high school and college is to educate a person. Most people decide to continue their education in college to get a job later on in life. High school students do not know what the real world has to offer when entering college. Many priorities and standards change when a person starts college. Many students are going to move away and start having their own responsibilities. I believe there are many differences in classes, spending habits, and dress code between high school and college.
After being college for a couple months now I have seen a lot of differences between this and high school. My experiences in high school were overall pretty positive. I had a good friend group, did really well in school, was involved, and played volleyball all four years. When it came to school work and having to absorb new information, people did not struggle since teachers made an effort to always make sure you were succeeding and had all the necessary tools laid out in front of you in order to pass. I always picked up on things pretty quick and could get away with not studying for tests and still get hundreds. It was not often for me to have nights of more than an hour of homework. When I did have more than an hour of work, it felt like the world was ending, I became very stressed. Being involved and balancing schoolwork was fairly easy, and I had a very set routine for the entire week which helped me get through work and other tasks I had to complete. All these things changed drastically when I came to college. Maria mentioned a lot of differences between college and high school that I already have seen in the short time that I have been at USC. Independence is a huge one that probably has had the biggest effect on me. As a college student, class is just there to introduce you to the topics and it is all on you to deeply understand it and feel comfortable with the information. I have to take initiative to go to SI sessions and use places like the student success center
Each person is required to get an education to be important in today’s society. There are many institutions where people gain their education; for example, college and high school. Both, college and high school are educational institutions, but they differ from each other in many ways, such as teaching style and responsibilities, graduation requirements, and class size.
The environment at High School is filled with students, teachers, and other faculty members like a college would have. When you are in High School you don’t pay for anything besides basic school supplies, such as pencils and paper. Although, to attend a college there are multiple fees to pay while attending a college like tuition, room and board, books and other supplies unlike a High School. Overall, college is expensive and students do not see that conflict and do not consider it to be influential on their decision to attend a college.
