high school life vs university life
蔣嬋涵 (jacinthe) a057 point-by point comparison
i will always remember the day on which i stepped into the gate of my
university ,excited and happy, thinking that i can change my future. all the
things are fresh to me ,and the new life encouraged me to keep active all the
time. for the time being, however, without the initial excitement, i gradually
found that the life in university is not what i had imagined.
in university, we have lots of freedom, which is totally different from the
life in high school. we can take seats we like instead of the fixed seats in
fixed classroom in high school.
also, we have to do everything on our own. the only person we can depend on is
ourselves, in contrast, we can rely on our parents, our teachers in high
school, and self-reliance was much less important in daily life.
on the other hand, high school life and university life share lots of
similarities as well. for example, it is our duty to always attach great
importance to our lessons both in high school and in university, which is much
to my surprise. as the saying goes, “reward lies ahead of diligence, but
nothing is gained by indolence.”
though there are striking differences between the ways of life, they are all my
valuable experiences

time flies! it seems a moment ,whereas, the fact is that i have really become
a college student. in retrospect, i can’t help exclaiming over my perseverance
and bravery for my pursuit of dreamed university. meanwhile, i also want to put
my finger on the difference between my high school life and now, the college
one.
after my careful consideration, i find out three big differences between them.
the primary one is the ways of teaching and learning. at high school, i got
used to doing what the teachers required, such as reciting essays, finishing
homework, doing many papers, etc. actually, this is so-called “spoon-feeding”
. in contrast, we must be active for learning at college. we students can
dominate most of spare time and there is sufficient freedom for us to study
further whatever we like.
and the second difference might be the ways of living. at high school, since
our attention is mainly focused on study, our life is attended to by our
parents. nevertheless, entering the college means putting the help and care
behind and handling all living things on our own. we must learn how to live
independently and how to make decisions on ourselves. it’s a challenge for us
as well as an opportunity to help us to grow up.
what’s more, it couldn’t be neglected that there is an obvious distinction
between the two lifestyles in terms of goals and plans. while at high school,
our goals may be limited and generally ideal, but the plan may be dim. overall,
the college entrance examination serves as the sole center of everything.
totally differently, as a college student, we must set certain goals early and
make our plans clear enough, not only for several exams, but for further
future. only in this way can a college student find his position and enrich
himself.
above is my consideration about the contrast of life between the high school
and college. anyhow, we are in college now, we should learn to change and adapt
to the college life style. we are supposed to do what we should.

half a year ago, being a high school student, l was studying hard to get
prepared for the college entrance examination. faced with such large quantities
of homework and tasks everyday, l was really bored with high school life, so l
usually couldn't help looking forward to my university life. now, l have been a
college student for two months.having experienced both of the lifestyles,l have
to say that they are quite different.
in high school, what matters most is grade and our critical aim is to get
higher grades in the college entrance examination, so our priority is studying.
with this principle, we have to get up early in the morning and then hurry to
the classroom to start the whole-day learning. during the daytime, we will have
many classes and finally be left with much homework. we usually can't finish
all the homework until it's late in the night, so we hardly have time for
relaxation and entertainment. what's more, in high school we have to study hard
because of the pressure from parents, teachers and fierce competitions. in this
circumstance, some of us may be bored with such a lifestyle while others may
take delight in it and enjoy themselves. whatever, work gives us a sense of
fulfillment and a sense of achievement.
now, things have changed in university. we have fewer classes and less homework
so our pressure in studying is smaller. we can get up late in the morning and
our teacher is not serious in the least. during the class, whether you listen
carefully or not all depends on yourselves. if you are at will, you can sleep
for a whole forenoon in the classroom without a teacher’s blaming you. so,
studying at college calls for more self-control than pressure from teachers.
besides. we have more free time after class and now what matters most is the
development of competence and ability rather than simple grades. so, how to
take advantage of our spare time is rather important. you can sleep all day
long in the dormitory and you can also go to the library and take part in many
organizations and activities.
in a word, what our university life is like depends on our own. so we should
take a positive attitude and live a meaningful university life.

in common with most teenagers, i successfully passed the college
entrance examination and now have been a college student for over a
month. although the campus life so far is short, i find it totally
different from my high school life.
in high school, my goal was very clear—that was to be admitted to
a key university. so everything of me went on following the goal.
for instance, i just studied for grades rather than the knowledge
itself, and often drowned myself into the sea tactical issues. as a
result, the process was quite boring. apart from this, i was badly
lacking in freedom as well, for everything was restricted in all nasty
rules. moreover, my social circle was indeed small, which made me
nervous when talking with strangers.
while things at university are completely different. it takes on a
brand new life. firstly, study is my own responsibility rather than
the teacher’s. the teacher just serves as a guide to the door of
knowledge. and i can learn whatever i like besides what i don’t
like, which can really broaden my horizons. secondly, i now study not
only for exams but also for building up my overall abilities.
however, what delights me most is the freedom. with the releasing of
freedom, i can build good social circles with other like-minded
people.
though there is a sharp contrast between them, i really appreciate my
high school life and promise to live the university life to the
fullest!

for several months in university, it has become clear to me that the difference
between high school life and university life is huge.
the most different place is new teachers and classmates who we would meet at
first. the contrast can also be seen in terms of ways how teachers give class.
in high school, reliance on teachers is apparent. i mean, all things you have
learned were mostly from teachers. but in university, it may sound stupid if
you want to learn more things from teachers. it is said that you should learn
knowledge by yourself. so ways of learning will be taught instead of knowledge
itself.
the second difference is that we have to live an independent life. we may stay
together with our parents or relatives. but now, there are students from all
around the country, so college students may attach more importance to learning
how to live independently.
the last difference can also be found in our ways of budgeting. finance plays
an important role in our life now. maybe we were not bothered by money in the
least in high school. however, money is a big deal to us in university. you
couldn’t live well without money at all. on the other hand, it is wise for us
to make a economic plan so as to save money effectively.
in retrospect, not only knowledge we could learn in university, but also some
skills that are beneficial for our future life. these are big differences
between high school life and university life.
歐陽云瀚
liberty, which is promoted as the principle of education in america, is
absorbed perfectly into university life. there are no teachers around you any
more. instead, anything you do is totally decided by yourself. limits and
restriction are unavailable in the university.(wendy: i doubt it!) the time
after class will be too much to be spent. someone may be lost in the university
because they don’t know how to use time efficiently.
but in high school , there is no need to worry about that because study is
your priority. everything is attended to by others except yourself. for
instance, teachers and parents will take care of you; your homework will be
checked; the rest of your time will be arranged by your parents so much so that
there won’t be freedom in your life any longer. actually, the life in high
school is somehow meaningful.

since i attended college, i have felt a great change in life.to be brief, i
think college life differs from high school life mainly in three ways.
first, i'm glad that i have adapted to living on campus independently because i
had been used to living in dormitory in my middle school life. but the
difference is that living at college is quite far from my home and i have to do
many things and make various decisions on my own. and for most of us, we suffer
from homesickness ocassionally for not being able to shee them for a long time.
next,we have been suprised for the teaching methods. in high school, our
teachers showed us how to solve every kind of problems by giving us detailed
explanation and many tests.at college, however, there can be more freedom.there
won't be any teachers standing around you, asking you to finish your homework
at once. now, it's you who should watch over(monitor) yourself. in addition,
problems need to be solved by ourselves in our spare time.
finaly,at college, it can be a great challenge for us to maintain a friendly
relationship with our classmates from all over china, who have their own unique
personalities. as we live and study together,there is bound to be divergence or
disagreement in opinions.so we have to learn to get on well with each other.
in order to adapt to college life,we should learn to be self-dependent and try
to form good study habits. besides,we can take part in many activities with our
classmates to get along well with them.only in these ways can we live a happy
and meaningful college life.

after having acquainted myself with our life in college, we have felt a great
change. we maintain the idea that discrepances stand between our life in
college and in high school.
in high school, our teachers showed us the way to solve every problem by
detailed explanation. after a period of study, they will help us review what we
have learned again and again. however, in college, the teachers only give us a
brief explanation and we have to understand it and solve problems by ourselves
after class.
our relationship with classmates is also distinct from that in high
school. we have classes in a big classroom with students from different majors.
nonetheless, it was easy to have a close and friendly relationship with
classmates in high school whereas this is no longer the case at college.
all in all, college life differs in many aspects from our high school life.
we should try our best to adjust ourselves to the new challenges in college.
