To me, there are many differences between college and high school. One of the biggest differences for me is the workload. In college, I have experienced a bigger workload. I have many more exams compared to high school. In high school I would rarely have a test or a quiz every other week and now in college, I am finding myself having multiple quizzes a week, and at least one test a week. Not only do I have many more quizzes and tests, but I have experienced more homework. In high school, I would rarely have any assignments every night and would spend about 3 hours a week on homework. Now in college, I am constantly doing homework in my free time which means no scrolling on my phone or watching TV for me.
Another significant difference for me is the amount of time and effort needed in college. In high school, I would not spend hours studying for an exam or multiple hours doing homework every day. Now in college, I have to put in multiple hours studying for one exam and studying for that one exam many days in advance. I also spend multiple hours doing homework every day after class. While I was in high school, I studied for my exams the night before and very rarely for more than an hour because it wasn’t needed. In high school, I was in 8 classes that didn’t require a big amount of effort because they were easy classes. Now in college, I am 6 classes that require a bigger amount of effort because the classes are a lot more difficult. In high school I found myself getting extremely good grades without putting in much effort but now in college, I find myself having to put in a big amount of effort to get good grades.
