To those out there who have graduated from college and are attending/or have finished college, what is it like? I've always been curious. How does it differ from high school and other type of things. Help a curious young mind out.

Hardest thing eva, you'll cry. Don't even go to College, it's way too difficult.
It's better than high school, but not as fun as it should be because of the school I picked. Deal with dorm life drama and make a good group of your friends and you'll be fine.
College is whatever you make it to be. The biggest thing is the independence you have. Whether you choose to use that to further yourself or turn into a drunken mess is up to you.
Freedom, of course, more mature/cool people, more relaxed vibe (ie. people not trying too hard like high school), more choice in freedom, PARTYING, etc. It's great.
You have more responsibility. In high school, you were constantly told to do homework and study for tests. Well, in college you’re basically on your own. College also has a different class structure. In high school, you had class everyday from 8 to 3 p.m. Well, college is much different. Your classes will probably only meet two or three days a week for several hours. So you’ll spend less time in the classroom, but more time studying in the library or at home. Also YOU pick the classes you want. The classes are much longer, you have more free time, well actually that depends if you work and go to school, and have more homework.
As for the people, there are greater variety of people at college. Of course, in a group of friends, there's going to be the same pressure, but in college some people have grown up and are less judgemental
Freedom, of course, more mature/cool people, more relaxed vibe (ie. people not trying too hard like high school), more choice in freedom, PARTYING, etc. It's great.

Basically. If I were to summarize college, it's meeting all different types of individual personalities, both the good and bad that will influence your life and views on things. It's great moving from your hometown where everybody is the same to college where you can find a whole different mix of people.
