Explain about school life vs collage life....
Answers
The world of high school and college are two very different phases of life. Though the two of them couldn't be further apart there are some parallels that can be drawn between the two. From childhood to teenage, the high school tries to prep you for your life as an adult. Whereas college on the other hand, grooms and teaches that adult how to make the transition from a teenager to a professional of the corporate life. Believe it or not, our life as a high school student is a lot more disciplined that it ever will be as a college student. In school, we are bound by protocols and disciplinary rules that we are tempted to defy but there is always a fear of being caught and punished. College life on the other hand, though is bound by rules, but it hardly matters for the sense of freedom that students gain in college is all about doing what you feel like. Yet both of them hold their own charms and leave us with great memories. Let's look at the things that separate the school life experiences from that of college.
Difference between school and college
Learning Environment
The learning environment of the two educational systems is very different from one another. In college, you are no longer a passive learner. Active participation in classroom discussions is encouraged. In college, you are supposed to make the learning effort on your own, unlike high school where your teachers would run after you and push you to study and improve your grades. Where active participation in lectures is encouraged in college, your professors won't bother with pushing you if you don't indulge in them after they have told you 2-3 times.
Dress Code
In most school across the country, there is a uniform or a defined set of clothing prescribed by the school administration for all its students. You are bound by the school rules to abide by the dress code and wear a neat and clean uniform to school every day. However, in college students are not bound by any such dress codes you are free to wear whatever and whenever you want.
Attendance
This is one of the major difference between two student lives that we live. In school, attendance was compulsory if you missed out a day you had to take in a leave/sick application duly signed by one of your parents to school the next day. Whereas, on the other hand, attendance in college is taken more casually by students. And to avoid a complete no-show the entire semester a lot of college administrations have introduced a minimum attendance percentage for students to be able to sit in examinations. Mass bunk and proxy were like unheard concepts back in school but in college, they seem to be the only thing on a student's mind.
