Curriculum and focus.\nIn HS, there is more emphasis placed on the general education whereas in College you usually get your gen ed over with in the 1st yr, and then focus on your major.\nCollege course work is typically harder than in HS, and the Profs expect more out of you.  You are treated like an adult, and unless you go to a local college and commute, you are living on your own.

The quick answer is to study more for your tests and go to your teacher with any problems or misunderstandings you have. All high school teachers want their students to go to college and be successful. Talk to your counselor about your problems and have them set you up with a tutor.

College is quite a bit different then highschool.\n\nFirst nobody CARES if you show up for class or not.\nNobody CARES if you PASS or FAIL.\n\nYes... you can take courses not related to your major, but they will likely delay the time it takes you to graduate with a degree.\n\nwhat else can I help you with?

The ability to "think."\n\nIt sounds comical but it's true.  Most colleges do not focus on the core subjects of reading and writing.  They focus on the ability to analyze the core subjects.  Analytical skills are the highest in demand and IF you can prove that then you are above the majority.

There are certain classes that everyone has to take to get into medical school and it is really important to do well in these classes.  Take as much biology, chemistry, and physics as you can.  The more you have in high school, the easier it will be in college.  Most med schools also require that you take calculus.  It doesn't matter what you major in, but you will have to take these courses eventually.

Homework in 7th grade is important for you to get in the habit of doing it through highschool. Homework in highschool is imortant to recieve good grades so you can get into a good college. Getting into a good college is good (and doing homework there) so you can get into the profession that you want.

If you're not grounded, mature and disciplined, you will see college as a huge playground: "I'm free", "I'm out of my parents home", "I can pick my own classes", etc. I think college is a serious prep for life. You have to be responsible for yourself. Maybe have your first bill, (like a phone), etc. Study or not.  Professors aren't going to send you to detention if you miss class, (like at high school), you'll just fail.  College to me is like an engagement, it's meant to get you ready or practice for the marriage (life).  High School to me is like a pre-engagement or a girlfriend/boyfriend stage.

It depends.  If you have financial contraints to go to college, you might have to work before going to college.  If you can afford it and want to go to college, it's better to go straight to college from high school so you're not distracted by anything else.  Procrastination can prevent you from finishing college.

Two main things in play:\n\n1) Athleticism:: As athleticism is generally spread evenly across the country (i.e. being born in California gives you same chances of having athletic ability as being born in Idaho)\n2) Proximity to Scouts: More resources draw more attention from colleges & pros.\n\nTherefore, the best high school would have to be the one that has the largest student body population.

Well, grade school and high school is completely different from college. In high school, you're obligated to do everything your teacher tells you to do. In college, you have more "freedom" to choose what you do.\n\nBut, that's different from what you NEED to do. \n\nAyways, i'm prety sure you are one of those people capable of achieving "valedictorian" and what not.\n\nWhen it comes down to it, it's all about attitude. It's making yourself do what you NEED to do instead of what you WANT to do.\n\nIt's still hard. That's procrastination for you.\n\nMe = #1 Procrastinator. \n\nBut I Still try to get things done.

Each of the top universities has their own personality.  You need to visit each one and spend some time there to see the differences.  Some are in great cities (Harvard and MIT, for example), others are not.\n\nCollege is what you make it.  You can get the equivalent of an Ivy League education at a state school if you so choose.  In many cases, it is the networks that you form at college that help support you throughout your life.\n\nAll colleges have programs to help low-income families.  Many of the top schools will pay all of your educational costs if you can meet their admissions criteria.

I loved going to college.  It was truly the best time of my life and would love to do it again one day to get another degree.  School can be a lot of fun if you make it that way.  In high school, I really wish I would have applied myself more.  Yeah, school is hard but it is worth it when you get older.  If there was a way that adults could take high school over again, I would sign up in a minute.  I would take all the classes that would better prepare me for things and apply myself more.

You have time to make up your mind. Talk to your school counselor. What are some things that interest you in school, like classes or sports or hobbies? Talk with some other people as well. You do not need to go to college the minute you get out of High School. Sometimes it is even a good idea to go to a Community College as a Liberal Arts Major to get yourself into the college atmosphere and get an idea of what might interest you. All in all, just do what you feel most comfortable doing, and try and talk with some other people about your future.

College was...\n\nA much easier schedule than high school, with much harder work.\n\nA more in-depth social experience (while in the dorms, anyway).\n\nCollege is really what you make of it. Your professors most likely really love the subjects they teach, and if you show them an interest they will usually respond to you. I ended my undergrad career with a few professors I could consider friends. You should apply for at least a few clubs or groups, like the campus newspaper. This is more important than you think.\n\nI have little to say about Fraternies/Sororities, as I was not in one.\n\nHope that helps. It seems pretty big at first, but it's a life you fit yourself into pretty easily.
