Blog assignment #3

In my opinion there are four main differences between high school and college. The first and biggest difference in my opinion would be the amount of study time required. In high school, you might often find yourself spending minimal time studying because you fully understood the material that was given in class. In college studying is a never ending process if you want to do well academically. For most classes in high school, the teacher would give you a review sheet for a test to study, in college, professors give you a general idea on what is on the test but for the most part leave it up to you to figure out what is going to be on the test .The second would be the difference in the amount of freedom you have. When you get into college if you live on campus, you receive more freedom than you ever had in high school. For the most part in high school, when you need money, it was to go hangout with your friends or buying a video game but in college you need money just for the bare necessities such as soap, shampoo and deodorant. Next would be the difference between classes in high school versus classes in college. In high school you spend six or so hours in the classroom all day, moving from one class to another, in college you have the ability to pick when what days your classes are along with the times. Even though this may seem awesome, the amounts of information you receive in college courses are probably double that of a high school class. Teachers in high school often provide you with a copy of notes over the material and in college if you want the information for future reference, you probably should write it down. Lastly is the difference between high school teachers and college professors. In high school teachers check your completed homework after it is assigned and remind you of incomplete work. In college, the professors do not always check your homework and it completely and entirely up to make sure you have all your papers turned in on time, if not they are not accepted.
