<p>What college do/did you go to? Why do you like it more/less than hs?</p>
<p>i like my college more because the students are more normal. in my highschool there were too many smart kids who were too smart for their own good, and too many not as smart kids who were too well-off for their own good (some were both). but i wasn’t exceptionally smart OR wealthy and i didn’t feel like many of these people were normal. to top it all off there was this constant tension in my school between the gifted creative kids and the wealthy normies. i was kind of obsessed by this infighting and watching it manifest and laughing quietly to myself about it. i was as genuinely fascinated by it as i was humored by how ridiculous it seemed. in all it was engaging. yup… that’s how i entertained myself in high school.</p>
<p>when college came i slipped back into more typical crowds of kids. i felt much more at ease. you hate the wealthy kids for being wealthy and the gifted ones for being smart. but you don’t hate wealth or intelligence. actually you want those things and wish you had more of them. so you hate them for having what you don’t have. basically, you have contempt for them but its contempt induced by envy. behind your contempt you are insecure and unsatisfied. but with normal kids you hate them because they’re idiots. but this is a healing kind of hate. all the insecurity that turned into hate of the privileged people from above? that can be reversed when you hate people for being inferior. slowly, you might become more confident. then you won’t have any reason to hate ANYONE anymore, wealthy or smart or not, because you don’t need to feel superior to feel adequate and you aren’t made to feel inferior by not being adequate. you’re confident. you don’t need to bring anyone down and no one is going to bring you down by being something you’re not.</p>
<p>I personally liked both. I had a great high school experience, and a sucky freshman year of college before transferring and having an amazing experience so far! I also had the same amounts of freedom in both college and hs and both I experience a time of personal growth.</p>
<p>I didn’t have a group of really, really close friends in high school, and I often felt out of place academically, like there weren’t a lot of people who shared my academic interests, ambitions, and smarts.
Because people choose their colleges, unlike high school, you are more likely to find people you fit with than in college. At least, that’s been my experience. I have a really great group of friends who have been really supportive with some tough stuff I’ve gone through. I have also been able to find my niche academically and excel in it.
It’s not the I particularly had a bad experience in high school, but college is where I really felt like I’ve come into my own.</p>
<p>College of course. I don’t see how anyone would like HS more beside the fact that it’s easier and you’re not in one of those lesser college. The people here are way more open and the atmosphere is just uplifting. So far haven’t had a bad day whereas in highschool I would have one within the first 2 weeks.</p>
<p>Only cc would ask this question.</p>
<p>^ Why ?</p>
<p>High School sucked</p>
<p>@mermaker: Actually that is quite incorrect. I heard this question asked so many time not just online but in real life as well.</p>
<p>Only cc would miss my sarcasm.</p>
<p>College.</p>
<p>Must more freedom in terms of time (no busy work!) and a lot more options. Stress shifts to relevant things instead of GPA/SATs into asking myself “Can I get a job after graduation?” Because let’s be real, your GPA/SATs become irrelevant after a few years yet you work sooo hard, sweat blood and tears, to keep it up.</p>
<p>HS now that I realize how chill it was, now that I"m in college.</p>
<p>sarcasm isn’t really missed it’s only failed to be appreciated… is that what we’re talking about? how can you miss someone’s sarcasm if they’re not here being their sarcastic selves for you to see it. normally someone who leaves cc filters out of your mind, but then when you see them back on cc again you think “ahhhh, i remember his sarcasm!” and it’s a fond recollection.</p>
