So which is more fun and memorable? College or high school? College and high school experiences are total opposites. In high school, it's about fitting in with the crowd. Clubs were also all the range, from varsity to dancing to mathematics clubs. Think High school musical where you had to fit in to one stereotypical group or face the consequences of being an outcast. Conversely, college life was more liberating. It's all about being an individual and experiences such as choosing my course, my schedule, my study group, my hang out, and my professors, were those that I worried over for a bit. Personally, I had more fun with my girlfriends in high school, but I definitely learned more about myself after college.

College is by far more fun and memorable. In high school, you are trying to fit in rather than finding out who you are. You feel compelled to do anything to fit in even if it's not what you want to do. College is a time for self-exploration and personal growth. You find out what is important to you and are encouraged to pursue your interests. There is a group of people for everyone. College is so much fun because you can be yourself and be accepted for who you are. You can meet so many interesting people and make life-long friends.

Well,I think that college is better than high school.Because the life in the college is more colourful and meaning to me,the relationship between friends and classmates are more closer.In high school,people just pay attention to their study and don't care others.Besides,there are more activities in college,which enrich our life.I think college life is wonderful.

I think high school is more memorable for me than my college life. I myself is a newly college graduate but I still like my high school days. I found my true friends in college too but the memories I had is far more memorable with my high school friends.

High school was fun because I was the only one in my group with a car...I was the big shot! Never was involved in any clubs or after school programs which I regret today! In college I quickly go married and started having children...which I wish I would have better to wait for. Which is better high school or college? When I am right now I would have to say the best time is right now! I am making more than enough to get by, my kids are ready to take flight into the adult world and I am really starting to enjoy life for a change. :-)

Hi! Yeah I totally agree with you. The only difference with me is that high school was not about fitting in. It was about passing.^_^ This is because my high school and classmates were the same ones. I had the same school in high school and elementary so there was no need to fit in because everyone already had a place in the class. What I mean about passing is that the school had really high standards that if people got just barely a passing grade they would already offer a thanksgiving mass.^_^ so we're more preoccupied with our grades rather than fitting in. With college yeah, the freedom has gotten to me. I didnt know I was under a lot of pressure in high school and I only knew about it when I got to college. Everything was my decision in college and I had the power to choose my friends, my hangouts, and most especially my professors. Bwahaha! I also control my time and what I want to do about it. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.^_^

of course, college! College life is not so tedious as high school life. When I was a high shool student, the most important task was study. We seldom had other activities except study. However, there are many interesting activities in collge. You can learn a lot of things in campus.
