The school is the place where you've probably discovered not only about knowledge but the meaning of friendship and first crush or first love. It is during the school years where you've had your great adventures and many first-time experiences. But which is more memorable or which do you cherish more, high school or college?

definitely my high school. i was able to learn and experience a lot freely during those days. i was also 'allowed' to be naughty and a bit irresponsible during that time because i was still a kid. there's lesser worries during high school and lessons are much easier to learn even without studying at home. there are so many sports activities as well during high school and P.E. subjects are more fun compared to college. i also played and played outdoor games until i wanted to. and most of my first hilarious and embarrassing moments happened in high school. it was really a great adventure. during college, there were so much responsibilities and expectations. pressures are non-stop. high school is definitely the most memorable one for me!

This is a toughie. I love both of them. High school is more into exploring, of fun times, of petty problems, of building peers, of crazy things, of thinking that my league is a different set of kids. But I would always say i started developing myself in UP Baguio. College. Tough life - living alone far from home, work and school, supporting oneself, living each day, surviving each day, making ends meet both academically and financially, one banana que in a day for a whole day meal, working at 14 just to get by, LOAs in school to work and save for the next sem... all of that. but i was able to make it.

i never did get to enjoy my high school life because i studied in the university where my dad taught. so like, every teacher knows me and everybody was watching me, all the time. every little mistakes that i did, my dad would know. i wasn't able to go to the prom when i was in my senior year. the only consolation was that, i did find my best friend when i was in my 1st year in high school. =) i enjoyed my college life more because , well i transfered to a new school and i get to be involved in alot of extra curricular activites as well. and more importantly, my dad trusted me more when i was in college.

High School. My high school is definitely one of the most memorable years I've ever had, I experience a totally different world, from an exclusive all girls school I was transferred to a private school in our province that is coed. It's been a hard time for me since i don't know how to mingle with other people with different language and boys too. At first I have a hard time understanding them but as times goes by and as they start making friends with me and they are not anymore intimidated by my 'uniqueness', I started enjoying high school. It's a fun filled experience, I got to attend fiestas, do street dancing, eat out in different places, go to beach, do hiking and even partying and I found my real friends there.

i enjoy my college and highschool life but if you are asking me which is more memorable in this two i will choose highschool. this is the time were i enjoy joining competition in art/poster making contest which helps me to developed my skills, also improved my self esteem .. this stage becomes more challenging? why because in our school i joined different organization like rotary club, boyscout, i am the cartoonist of our school news paper, i also won school to regional competition in poster making, mural painting and logo making.... this is my first time to experienced earning money using my own special skills. and most of all i met special people, my friends that supports me and made my highschool life more memorable. i miss all bonding moments with my highschool classmates.....

It will never forget my high school days. It was when I got a head start on how to live my life. Explore new things, maintain a stable lot of friends. Discover my true love as well. Me and my fiancee have been together for 12 years since high school. We've had ups and downs but we're as strong as ever. My friends in high school have been in constant communication with me more than my other groups of friends. It was a very fruitful 4 years.

Hi! Like the response above I prefer my high school days too. My story is that the people Ive been with in high school have been my classmates or schoolmates since Kindergarten and a select few were actually my classmates in nursery school. Over the years, some leave, some transfer, some come back, some dont but most of the people were still there and so we have been together for 12-13 years. Might have been 14 but those that I went to nursery with didnt didnt go through nursery/prep school like me so it was nursery school and then a jump to Kindergarten 1. We had memories in elementary too but I guess the bond that we had became strong and got sealed forever when we were in high school. It was only 4 years but a lot happened there. There were some controversies, issues, fights between the students and fights with the admin. Despite the tears and whatnot, there was also the triumphs, the awards that we had when everybody thought we would lose, the nights spent on projects, the celebrations and that parties too. We are all still in touch via internet and texts. Even when the others went far for college and some even went to other countries but whenever we pass each other by, we never fail to give each other a smile.^_^

high school is the most memorable one for me as i have enjoyed there without any restriction. College was not that good and when we are considered as grown ups its another fun as no one puts any restriction.

My high school yeears are memorable as it is where I discover my true self and where I matured and learnt my life skills.It is also where most of my funny moments took place and I still remember them now and when I think back I always laugh at how I was back then.

I'm a Chinese college student now. I think the high school life is more memorable to me. During those days, I just had the only goal, that is, passing the college entrance examination. Conversely, now in college I feel a little bit boring. The college I study in is not a place for researching. The teachers are unresponsible and lazy. The classes are also tiresome compared to that in high school. Gradually, I lose my enthusiam to study. Maybe I lose my direction in my life.

I did not like high school. I think that it was a repressive place, and I think that most peopel think that way. You are stuck in the position you are in the whole time. I think that college is way funner than high school, and I know that I will remember it more. I have made so many good friends in college that I hope to not forget. I think college is more memorable. What did you guys think of high school? did you think it was bad?
