haha, community college is JUST like high school. only difference is that you can smoke after classes and the teachers dont care and baby for you.

You'll right at home.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Check out this blog entry by a community college professor on the differences between high school and college for incoming students.  I think you'll find it very helpful.

One's bigger and has more people !

Answer 5

For me I saw no difference.  Only difference between high school and community college was about 25 yrs.  There was no one to point out the class rooms.  You find the building and room then you go in and find a seat by yourself.

Only real difference between the two (for me), you find your own transportation and there is only your conscious when you don't make it to class on time.

Relax and enjoy it.  

Answer 6

depends on your college but in my experience my college was easier than high school. Way more independent!!!!! Don't worry its all good. A bit of advice is to treat each class different. Learn and pay attention to how each professor teaches and test, i.e. detail orientated, comprehensive,  etc.  If you can figure out your professor you will know how to excel in their class. If you get stuck in a class search the internet.  Lots of colleges put their class material on-line.  You tube has saved my butt a few times too.  

Most important-- Don't let yourself fall behind in class.   College moves a h**l of a lot faster than high school.  

So put the dedication into your education, its effort that is never wasted.

Answer 7

in my country it´s completely diferent... in the college nobody says you, you are free to do your own live, and nobody is interested by the life of the not-friend

but there are more Responsibilities... because now you are seen as a adult

Answer 8

Its a lot different from HS. However, the classes are all the same. Life in general is just different. Go out, get drunk, and go s***w as many chicks as you can. Believe me... you'll regret it if you take it too seriously.
