“I think high schools offer some things that college really doesn’t. First, everyone runs on the same schedule.”

Keep in mind everyone has different things going on, and the freedom to make your own schedule is crucial.

“Second, there are more activities in high school such as dances, assemblies, etc. that you don’t get as much with college.”

And who exactly cares about those things? Honestly. Because I sure as hell didn’t in high school.

“Third, the people you attend high school with you probably already know for years so it’s much easier than in college where you start with a clean slate.”

Again, this depends on your point of view: would you rather stay stuck with the same group of friends or get out there and actually meet new people?

“Fourth, it’s easier to get involved in high school because activities don’t require as much commitment and let’s face it, ECs actually matter for college”

Again, depends.
