What's college like?

To those in college, I'm a senior in high school and I'm looking forward to college. I'm planning on doing ROTC and track, and maybe a double major (english and somethign else). What is college life like? How are the people and classes and teachers? What is everything like?

People are are more mature, teachers don't give out detention or needlessly shout & you usually have more free time.

Well I was from a small high school and I commute to a university like 30 min up the road, but it is quite different. I don't even live there and the campus isn't very large but there is literally something to do all of the time. Thats the cool part, but the part that sucks is the work and all is pretty much like read the book and teach yourself kinda. So its a lot harder IMO. I'm a freshman by the way so I don't have a lot of experience to share with you. :Plol

Sometimes it's hard..otherwise it's boring..

Like this.

Not where I go. The underclassmen, with some exceptions, are just as immature as high schoolers are.

Depends on what you major in honestly. If it's something easy you will be partying or doing whatever with your free time, if it's something like law, engineering or any of the more intensive subjects you aren't going to be given much free time.

It's the best time of your life if you're the type who can get things done fast. A lot of clubs and events to go to. On the other hand, if you're slow at studying and finishing assignment, then get prepared to pull all your hair out.

I just finished graduate school, so i can tell you my experiences. I went to a huge university and had a wonderful time. there will be people you like, and people you dislike, just like in highschool, but now, you arent forced to be around people you dislike. you will find your group of friends. lots of parties, social events, school events. you will study a lot more than you did in high school (im assuming) and really that wont be as much studying as you should have done. you will have mroe responsibilities but its good. you get to start managing your own life. i miss college. it was a great time. damn real world

It is more what you choose to make of it than anything else.duxup

It is a new beginning.

It is hard at times cause you need to study everyday and look pass all tests. You are now with roomates or yourself. You need to buy everything. Gas, food, clothing etc.

College is fun, but can be very stressful at times.

Don't go into college with a smug sense of self worth and intelligence. I was severely shot down in first semester.

This should give you an idea.

It's not like what you see in the movies. That's all I will say.

More freedom in terms of structure, and more personal responsibility in terms of going to classes and do the work

Its undeniably awesome if you get that whole "I'm gonna be paying those loans off for the rest of my life" thing out of your head. I know it took me a while to get that off my mind. :x

College is awesome. If you have a good work ethic and understand the concept of time management, it's relatively easy. It can get stressful at times, but that's life.

My first two years of college have been the best years of my life. I have met some truly amazing people at my school.

Tons of hot chicks and parties.
