Why do some kids expect college to be better than highschool?

<p>how is college better? seriously, all people ever do is study. and if you don't dorm, and aren't super social, you won't meet much people, thus you end up studying even during your "free time". i had too much free time in high school.</p>

<p>I dormed but very few of my friends actually lived in my dorm freshman year. Like I literally still talk to ONE girl from my freshman dorm. I met all my friends in class or through activities. And I would definitely say that NOT all people ever do is study... most people put off studying as much as they can!</p>

<p>If you had more fun in high school than you are having in college, then you are doing something wrong.</p>

<p>College is much better than High School in just about every aspect.</p>

<p>I had a way better time at college than high school. Made much better friends, learned many more interesting things, and generally just had a much better quality of life.</p>

<p>Studying their passion is different from studying just anything. </p>

<p>Nobody is stopping you from dorming.</p>

<p>If you aren't social in high school, you won't meet many people either.</p>

<p>i loved HS, expecially junior and senior years.
now at the end of my freshman year of HS i miss my HS friends (some i have been friends with for 10+ years) but not HS life.</p>

<p>college is just more freedom. and i could never go back to HS. parties are rediculous, so many more nice people without being cliquey. evne the work in college is more enjoyable. its less busy work and most of the stuff im learning is actually interesting. i love my school and pretty much everything about it. first semester and in the middle there were kind of rough adjusting wise but now ive found people who i love being around and who i know i can enjoy the next 3 years with. i love college!</p>

<p>i think im going to say that senior year HS was ONE of the best times of my life, right now it doesnt seem like my best friends from college can top our tight knit group of 14 from HS. to me, college is just going to get better and better every year. im really sad for this year to end because im having more fun now than ever. at the same time im ready to go back home for a solid 3 months and relax with old friends</p>
