I am a college student. At first, I was expecting that college would be boring. I thought that i would not enjoy it as much as i enjoy my high school life. But, as it turned out, college is actually fun. And surprisingly enough, i realized that i enjoyed it more than i did in high school. The friends that i have in college right now are actually nice and adorable individuals. How about you? Which did you enjoy more, your high school days or your college days?

I prefer high school life.At university,I sometimes feel homesike and almost all my classmates come back to dormitory directly after class,so we have little time to cultivate our friendship.At the same time we have more free time now to enjoy ourself.

I dont enjoy so much in my scool or college days. School days i was a book worm. During college i started to enjoy a little bit. I really did enjoy in my workplace. My first job. There was so much frredom to do researches whatever i want. My colleagues also very understanding co-operative. Weekends we did enjoy to the highest core.

Well, I'm glad that you are enjoying your work. Many people are not happy about their jobs. They seem to be very busy, with no time to enjoy themselves. I hope I'll enjoy my work in the future too, as I am also planning to do researches like you. Thanks and good luck to you.

I like my college days much more. As the study pressure was pretty heavy in the high school. The homework was a lot everyday and everyday we had lessons for a long time. The life was quite boring. College was different, at least we could have some breaks. I love China

I can relate with you. My high school life was very hectic. There were so many requirements to accomplish. Sometimes, we were even required to go to school on weekends. Good thing i still enjoyed it. Thanks and more power to you. XD

Hi There! Honestly, I enjoy my college years more than of my high school years. I studied in a catholic school when I was in high school. On my first and second year, we are all girls then for the remaining years, we are coed. Well, since it is high school, it was strict and all I do was study and I get to stay with my friends after school then get the last trip on the school bus going home… but my time was limited back then. In college, my parents were not that strict to me anymore since they expect me to be mature then. I like it more than high school since my parents allow me to go out with my friends and stay overnight as long as they know where I am going. Our projects were amazing and fun. I met a lot of people there. I am more independent more likely. So, I am happier in college than high school. Hehehe… Goodluck! Thanks for the discussion! Happy New Year and Happy HOlidays! Cheers!

I know a friend who studied in a Catholic school, and i understand that it was really very strict. Anyhow, you are fortunate enough to enjoy your college life. Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. God bless and happy new year! :D

College was better for me, but not the part I did right out of high school. I had quit for a few years and went back to college 4 years after I graduated high school. By that time I had a little more self confidence and was better prepared for life. I did not have a good experience in grade school or high school except for Band and a few other activities. College was totally different and I was a lot happier.

Hi capirani. Well, I have a classmate in college who has the same experience as yours. She must have stopped also. She is 20 yrs old and she doesn't hang out with us and doesn't participate much in the school's activities. I think she is more mature than the us, that's why. Well, I'm glad that you actually enjoyed your college days. Thanks and God bless you. :)

I think it would really help you if you go back to school. Lots of opportunities will be available to you if you finish college. That's just my opinion though. :) I'm wishing you all the best. God bless

College! No question that I enjoyed college far more than I enjoyed high school because in college, I get to choose and no one tells me what to do, the only problem is I have more responsibility than I did back in high school.

I think I enjoyed my high school life better because I was already married with kids when I went to college - and life was much more hectic!

It must've been hard, being a mother and college student at the same time.

College days is far more better and enjoyable for me! I meet different individuals and I was able to cope up with each other differences (which in turn gave me a good learning). Being in college means, being mature too! Literally I am a lot older than in high school. So this means age, gave me the freedom to do the things I wanted to happen in my own prerogative. It is also more challenging. Why? Because at this stage, their are more trials or hardships I had encountered and had solved them on my own, and in return had boost my potential.
