I'd say i really did enjoy my life in highschool compared when i went to college.It was so frustrating and so time consuming but in highschool it's a very different story,we have all the time to have fun, going here and there and nothing to worry about, everything we need is being provided. well maybe not all.sometimes my allowance is not that much and i can't buy the things that i want back then.
Anyways i don't complain about it for it was a really great time of my life, maybe if there's a chance that i do get a chance to live and experience a time of my past life again i won't think twice to say that i'd go back in my highschool life.
How about you? highschool or college life? you can only choose one!

I think the college days because it was the time I have given the privilege to be independent and was able gone out of my shell. It was the time I was able to go out and socialize unlike before when I was still in high school, my mom was so protective then.

Right with that!in highschool there were so much rectrictions, but in college most of us earned some priviledges and trust and we were able to get out of our shell.And accoreding to all these replies we still can't determine which is better, so it really depend on anyones experiences in highschool and in college to decide whether which one they prefer.
As for me i had so much fun in highschool than in college.

High school was a pretty good time, but I have a lot of regrets with how I performed in school. I was picked on a lot and didn't want to focus on my studies. I think that high school is the best time for everyone to start getting good study habits down, but I didn't know that at the time. It only gets tougher unless you've got these good habits.
I'd rather stay with college life since I can't change the past and I know better study habits now even if I don't practice good habits ALL of the time. With college, you don't get picked on as much and most everyone is more mature and focused on their studies instead of who's wearing the cool clothing.

Good time indeed!I didn't think that performance in highschool was that very important compared to college that's why i don't regret my performance back then, but i didn't perform that bad.all of us helped each other in making our duties so we really had much fun.College?ahh got my head aching all the time specially when i started 3rd year onwards...

I did not really like high school. Too many restrictions on everything. I am in college now and I like having some freedom. I am still responsible. I never got into any trouble and the quality of classes is much better than in high school.

Even though I am free no win my college life, I still find it difficult to distinguish what I enjoy. Unlike when I was in Highschool, I definitely enjoy anything we do together with my friends. Even sitting and doing nothing but we are together, I still find it enjoying.
Another good thing in highschool life is you don't heve much to worry about academic things coz it easy especially you copy notes and if it is break time (lunch or recess) it is definitely break time. A time for yourself and with your friends.
All I can say is finishing college is hard but it is part of our life so still enjoy it as much as you can :D

About notes,assignments they are to worry about because there are "friends" that will help you with them anytime anywhere,funny but true enough.

I enjoyed my college life more. My parents were very protective and I lived a sheltered life till I was in high school. I had great memories from high school but college was much much better. I was able to go out on my own, dress the way I liked and be with my friends even when classes were over. I still see most of my college friends and we often reminisce about the old days.

I prefer highschool over college myself. Those were the good old days when you are learning to date, go out and have a lot of fun and the real party life as long as you gotten your lessons out for Monday morning and the Friday and Saturday night was all your to do whatever you want as long as your parents didn't mine. Love the highschool years and all the freedom as long as you didn't get into trouble.

Yeah, monday mornings was the busiest and the most hated day of the week but at the same time exciting for everyone will be seeing each other again after the weekend, fridays are the best because we can do whatever we want after school so long that the parents will let us have some fun and yes just don't get into trouble an d you'll earn more trust from our parents

i prefer being an highschool student bacause at college there are no limits,no principal's looking for you when your not yet at school or your late and there are almost no rules at college and you can do whatever you want, not just like in highschool there so many rules there are many things that you cannot do in highschool that's what i want,that there something looking forward to what are you doing.,not unlike in college.

It sounds like we had differing experiences in high school vs college. I loved college life! I loved being out on my own, hated being so tied down in high school. It was a lot less stressful in high school I must say, but the freedom beats the less stress I think. I did have a lot of fun in both places though.

I guess everyone has different experiences but as we had fun on those times we'll just remember them somehow when we get old.a very interesting part of our lives

College was a lot more enjoyable to me than high school was. I think that the main reason that I liked college a lot more than I liked high school is because of the fact that I was able to more choose the course that I had in my life. In addition to that, I had freedom for the first time in my life when I was in college. I loved being able to spend as much time as possible with my friends. I also think that being in college was what made me the responsible adult that I am today.

Did you get many friends in college compared in highschool?
I did met more people in college than in highschool but i think the quality of friendship is far from those that i met in highschool.In college it's like "hi and go".

When I was a high school student and struggled with the college I do hope I can go to the college as soon as possible.Iwas so tired of study at that time .I feel tired after all day's study.I think the college can be more relax.But when I become a college student ,I still feel so tired.And what's worse,I can't find my goal now.But when I am in high school ,I just need to study and study.So I do prefer high school life now.

I enjoyed my high school life more than my college life.Activities i did in high school is never done again in my college life,and on the top of that,in college, teachers don't really care about things we did,our studies as it was once in high school days.i prefer to be in high school days again.lolz

mostly had good times in highschool than in college, i guess mostly choose highschool since we were just starting our life, carefree and there's so many things to do but then there are limitations and i think that's one factor that makes more exciting.ahhh life in the old days with friends nice to live life again.

I enjoyed both my highschool and college life. College was when you start to live away from your family and the freedom is oh so intoxicating. I still remember the feeling of excitement I had living away from my family for the first time. Besides, thats the best time to experiment (oh yeah baby~) on new things.
