<p>I did not have a substantial high school life, not as social as I wish it would have been, nonetheless, now that I'm in college, things have gotten much better (and I mean my community college, gonna go to university this fall!)</p>
<p>But now that i look at high school I wish i would have known then what I know now and see how things would have been. I also miss the whole high school scene, even though it is stupid.</p>
<p>NOW, here is the question:</p>
<p>plain and simple. and give your answer in terms of the "FUN FACTOR" only, please!</p>
<p>high school scene IS stupid, how can you miss it? i'm not in college yet but i've visited my future school and it sure as hell look a lot more fun than high school. unless you're commuting to college i don't see how you can beat a residential college life with high school...</p>
<p>no one has more fun in high school while under the supervision of their parents in their home town with people they are forced to see and a school they did not get a choice to attend.</p>
<p>tauru, the high school scene is stupid yea, but i think you will miss it when you go to college, because i guess you can say they were your social family when in school.</p>
<p>I'm not in college yet, but I know it's going to be great socially (I'm going to USC), but I think I'll also miss high school. Like someone said those people become your family, my friends and I have talked about this, and we know we're a family, dyfunctional, but a family none the less. I'll let you all know what I think of the college social scene once I get there, but I'm not sure you can top the feeling of family from my high school.</p>
<p>although i will not be in college until fall, i can say that i loved high school. and i'm sure college will be just as fun. but then again, it could be hell. we'll see!</p>
<p>so it seems college life is winning as of now... </p>
<p>who else has some to say?</p>
<p>but you guys can't deny the fact that HS was your 'social' family. the ones you hated, you can disregard them, but your friends, your acquaintances, and even the people you knew of in high school but you "wish you had got to know them" is always memorable.</p>
<p>nonetheless, this happened to me, I got to know someone from HS that I didn't know well, and now am starting to know him in college.</p>
<p>if I can reverse time with no changes at all, and just re-live HS, i'd do it in a heartbeat (well, not really, but i guess u know what i mean.)</p>
<p>yea, believe me i hated every minute of high school too, like someone said earlier, but don't you wish you can re-live it?</p>
<p>but who knows, college is prob. a secret fun that one has to experience..</p>
<p>i went to boarding school, and even though my life wasn't as alcohol sodden then as it was this past year at school, i think the friends i had in high school are much better friends than any i made in college.</p>
<p>i also want to transfer, so that might be tainting my opinion. </p>
<p>i did have fun at college, though. different fun, but fun. i just miss my friends from highschool.</p>
<p>"but you guys can't deny the fact that HS was your 'social' family"</p>
<p>actually i can. my family moved out of my school's county after freshman year so i ended up commuting to my high school for the next three years. the result of that is i was far away from both my middle school friends and my high school friends (and couldn't make too many of new HS friends b/c i could only rarely hang out w/ them). high school was all about work (school-related and actual jobs) and getting away from my psychotic family. i will miss ten HS kids tops, a bunch of teachers, my counselor, but that's about it. i seriously doubt i will miss the concept of high school. i was never a part of it, and don't regret not being part of it. next year i'll be getting crunked at dartmouth; tell me HS can beat that =)</p>
<p>College and Highschool are very different....so consequentially you have different types of fun...on one hand, in highschool you spend time with ppl you've known for 10+ years and you form bonds...there's also that rush you get whenever you party while still under your parents' supervision...makes you feel rebellious :p...whereas in college you have much more independence...your workload also increases about 4 fold........but if you're good at managing your time, you can have fun over the weekends and sometimes during the school week...always a party, lots of new ppl...etc. etc.</p>
<p>In college you're judged more by your personality. And i'd say the friendships you form in college are less superficial and last longer than in high school. After a year out of high school, most likely you will be in close contact with 3-5 of your HS friends, and that number will dwindle the more time passes.</p>
