College Experience

There isn't much I can say about my experiences so far about coming to college for students coming here from high school next year. To me high school didn't prepare you enough, the teachers let you get away with too much, like assignments being handed in weeks late, and being graded too easy. In college, missing too many days gets you kicked out of a class you just spent a few hundred on to go to for two or three months. In high school, if you get kicked out, at least you can come back a few days later or just repeat the year again next year for free ( unless attending a school other then public ). In college there is more self responsibility. Your parents and teachers don't bug you to get your work handed in, you need to act upon it yourself and ask questions about your grades yourself. There is no principal there "to keep you in line." Basically in coming freshman need to become more responsible of their own work, and become a little more aware of life and succeeding on their own without someones hand their to guide them along the way.
