Question

Answer 1

In college, no one really cares about who you are or what you're doing (unless you pledge for a frat).

Also, teachers for the most part don't care if you ditch. It's not like they can do anything and you're the one paying for school anyway so if you don't go, you're wasting your own money.

Answer 2

The only difference is that high school is required to be enrolled in by law.

College is not mandatory for life.

Answer 3

You will have classes once a week but they will be four hours long.  

The student sitting next to you may be 40 years older than you.  

Spend enough time in college and your professors will be younger than you.  

Welcome to college.

Answer 4

My personal opinion: College is so much easier than high school.

Most kids have grown out of the childish behavior that they suffered in high school.

A class is not everyday, 5 days a week. It is usually twice a week.

You don't get called in for truancy if you don't make it to class.

You can take just 4 classes a semester, instead of 7 or 8.

In MOST classes, the professor does not hand out homework every night.

Some professors will hand out the syllabus, with all the homework to be done for the entire semester. Getting a head start is a lot easier that way.
