High School. The social structure sucks, you can't be who you really are without getting judged, you go to class all day for five days in a row, 50% of what you learn is useless, and you have a lot less freedom.

High School. You have to take things that you arent really interested in.

Not in college, but to me it means more work but less stress overall.

High School... College is much more work but you usually WANT to be there.

Honestly, University. It's very much an individual thing. Sometimes, I feel as though I don't know whether I'm doing things the right way. You have to rely on your own instinct more often. There really isn't anyone to guide you, unlike high-school where the teachers advise the students how they should write essays or complete assessment tasks. That being said, I think Uni is more enjoyable, at least in the social sense. And what you learn is more relevant. School is so useless.

High school. It determines if you want to go to college or not.

College. You only realize High School was a breeze when you start College.

High School. You sit there wasting 7 hours of your life for some random knowledge. I hate being judged.

High School
College has periods where it gets stressful but not like high school. In high school there is a lot more pressure on you to get into college. Plus even though college can be challenging your studying what you like and what you want to do. In high school you study everything.

College is definitely more stressful.

High school was a breeze for me. It wasn't stressful at all and it was fun more than anything. To me, college is hell. Yes you may have more freedom but not really... At least not as a biology major. It forces you to read and althoughyou technically don't have to go to class, missing a class like Organic Chemistry once may kill me. Making a C in a 4 hr class can kill your GPA and any hopes of getting into Med school. Undergraduate is HELL, but then again I do believe it depends on your major and the school. I don't have freedom. Taking 4 science classes, I'm either reading, doing homework, or studying for a test that's one fourth of my grade.

High School sucks since you're sitting through stuff you don't wanna learn. In University, it's stuff you actually enjoy, but the workload is a lot more.

Well I just started HS last month and it is very stressful for me. There's so much to study and learn, especially since I have credits to earn and all that stuff. Plus I have exams coming up and I have to ready 13 Chapters in biology, remember the words and information from those chapters and take a test in at least 20 days so its really hard but, school ends in 37 days so its fine. I just fear for the next school year :-(

Honestly, it's a toss-up. Going to college, there's a lot more freedom and more people so it's easier to do more of what you want, but you still have to take BS classes, just like in high school, and sometimes they are more intense than the ones in high school. Trust me. Plus, coming from an arts school to a public university you get stuck in classes with a lot of very dumb, sometimes just straight ignorant people. They're both fairly difficult, honestly, and they both have their ups and downs. At least in high school you don't have to stress about getting money so you can feed yourself and find housing haha.

Coming from someone who's been to both, I would say college.
You become a grown person. You're officially on your own. More work. Loans. Paying your own bills. etc. It's your first real experience as an adult.

Is this a serious question? High school is a joke... If you go to a real college, college is the only answer. High school grades hardly even matter compared to college... The only reason high school is winning is because ATRL users are on average 16... Trust me, college is more stressful (but also more fun, at least for me).

I lived through both and College was easier.
Most classes in high school were sh*t and some teachers were so incompetent that we'd often wondered what the hell they were doing here... Also the pressure, the lack of freedom, the tons of useless homework and the teenage angst are stuff I would not like to live twice, clearly.
Yeah no one will ever ask you to redo all your exams in a very hot classroom in July, to read several political books, to wait in line for 3 hours to join a class (only to find out it's already packed) or to write a 100 pages paper with very precise research rules in high school, but if you're organized and strategic, you'll do just fine. And once you understand how to be on your own, without your parents always coming to rescue you, then you'll have in the palm of your hand the self confidence you would have never dared to dream in HS.
