we all know that each one of us have been a student for many years, school is the number two house for us.. if you were to choose which is more enjoyable, happier, saddest and challenge able life, the high school life or the college life?? ..
for me i love my high school life, jam in here, outing there and doing a lot of things that i really enjoyed a lot, it differs in college because you need to be serious and you need to concentrate more on your studies because of course the tuition is really high and the result of what course you do after the graduation.. and it's your future..
feel free to answer here friends...
thanks a lot...

I have to say there're huge differences between China and western countries in education.here in China ,high school is just,I mean ,like the hell.we suffer great pressure from parents,teacher and society,in order to enter a famous university we have to study all days ,there can be no leisure during our three years high school.
however,when we past the final exam,I could say,in our word,that's "liberating",
in college school,we have more time to do what we want,more freedom,less pressure,
so,I think most Chinese students can agree on my idea,college is better

Well, high school life in china may be tough because of piles and piles of homework. Howener there is no denying that it is the happiest time for most students in China. That's true we study all day and night long, but we all stay and play with our classmates in a room for nearly a whole day, which we can never get in college. I have to say, to find a real friend in college is the hardest thing in the world!Also we should feel so lucky that we need not worry about the tuition. Anyway,it is not cheap to study in the US, what's more, lots of people have to make all by themselves...

I like my high school days too! I have the wackiest and coolest bunch of classmates ever! I miss those days when we use to study but also have fun, laugh at our mistakes, spend all night doing projects and we really built a strong bond of friendship. We also had great teachers back then. College was alright, too. But, high school was really special to me.

I think I would say that I have enjoyed my college life more than my high school life. I was independent at that time, I work and study so I earn my own money. So its a bit challenging but I love it. There was a time that my professor even asked some help from me for her book and I was rewarded for my work. When I was in high school, I need to go home on time and don't really have friends as my mother would shout at my friends and was trying to manipulate everything. Sorry but my mother has a very deviant behavior that you can't even imagine how things were. I have a good life ever since I decided to live alone and support myself. I am proud of what I have done as I have a good life right now and my little sister is thinking of doing the same thing that I did though its her own personal choice.

My high school days were definitely the better of the two. When I turned 18 I went to school full time and worked full time. I didn't have time for sorority parties or football games.
In high school I was lucky I didn't have to study much to get good grades..so I partied non stop and still got into a good school!
I keep in touch with almost all of my high school friends and only one of my college friends!

Hi there..For me both my high school and college life were enjoyable.Its not just because of my friends but because of the lecturers who taught us were very nice and made our classes much more fun.To select particularly,I would go back to my college days,they were the best days of my life.Those girls,bunking classes,sports,making fun of the classes...commenting other class girls on the floor.
I did not enjoy much in my under graduation college,as there are very few guys and no girls at all...The lecturers were boring,and no sports club in the college,which I miss the most...

A hard choice though, I choose my college life as the best because I was a little more matured by that time & the restrictions were less, hence college life became unforgettable. I only hope that I get those days back.

Last year, my freshman year of college, I would have said that high school was better by far. This year I transferred to a different school and I'm realizing that this is what college life should be. It's so much more fun than high school. Even though I have to commute because I couldn't get housing, I'm having a pretty good time. It's more work in some senses, but there's more fun to balance it out. Plus, now the things I'm studying are things I'm actually interested in instead of some boring curriculum.

I would have to chose college. First of all I met my husband in college. I was very sheltered and had very strict household during high school, so there are a lot of things I missed out on. In college I was on my own and had a little more fun. I was able to express myself. Also, I really enjoyed the classes I was taking.

Though college days was nice and okay, i would still go and choose high school days. Why? because of a lot of reasons. First, that was the time I'm struggling about who I really am and what i want with my life. I was into cutting of classes,going out a lot with the not soo good friends, trouble here trouble there and yet, that was also the time before i finished my senior year that I met myself. That I can be a good person and be of help to anyone. That i can be just like anybody else, going to school with no trouble inside or outside the school premises. I got to know friends who helped me to find myself and changed it for the better. High school days was purely a challenge to me..and it made me a better person now.

I hated both. I don't think I was ever happy in school or thought it was an enjoyable experience. Outside of a few friends, I never led an active social life and never cared for making a load of meaningless friends I'd probably never see again.

High school was definitely the better years for me. I had tons of friends and loads of fun. My senior was also the greatest. I had only 2-3 classes a day, I would finish most of my homework during my free time, and I had a lot of fun hanging out and playing cards with my friends during lunch hour. I had a lot of great memories there.
College life ruined my social life. None of my friends went there, classes were a nightmare, and I hated those days were I had a class on one end of the school and had to rush to the other end for my next class. The only thing I think made it a little worth while was that I made one great friend.

i would prefer High school their was alot to learn and also alot to experiment. to me its the point where life begins, to much time that goes to waste doing so much that adds no value to your live, but i belive most people loved it too and those were the happy times. But their are things too that i hate about my high school day, but thank God its over .

For me, high school days were the best of all..During high school, I was able to meet my true friends that are always there for me..During high school, I was able to experience all the firsts in my life;my first cut class, my first case in the guidance office, my first love(lol),my first overnight with my classmate's house, my first sleepless night,my first outing with friends and a lot more..Maybe another reason that i chose high school rather than college because I am just starting my college life because i am just a sophomore..I still don't know yet my classmates but I have friends already..But as of now, nothing really compares with the friendship that I have in high school..

I like high school and college because I was a Jock in basketball and football. But if I had to choose one it would be College. I had a lot of fun playing football in college. More money, got travel further, and got to enjoy the good fun of college parties. I mean there were so many parties that I would go to about 4 to 5 within 1 night. Plus in college drinking started before noon on the weekends. I didn't get to do that in highschool. So college days by far.
