How is university better than highschool?

-You get to study the subjects that interest you.
-You can reinvent yourself. You don’t have to live with your high school reputation.
-You can live your life without your parents telling you what to do.
-You are treated more like an adult.
-Your time is more your own. No one tells you when to sleep, when to eat, when to study.
-The entire environment around you is designed for people like you. Clubs, parties, films, cookouts, sports. You can try anything you want without worrying about how it will look on your transcript.
-You tend to be with people who are similar to you in terms of intellect, but with vastly different life experiences.
-You get to spend 4 years thinking about who you are and what you want to do with your life, not how you’re going to get into college.

If it’s a residential college:
-No one tells you to pick up your room (except your roommate if you’re truly a pig)
-You can enjoy the company of the opposite (or same) gender without worrying about whether your parents will walk in on you.
-Getting away from home and exploring a new place.
-You can finally be you. If you want to stop going to church or come out of the closet or join the campus Republicans your family doesn’t have to know.
-Late nights hanging out in the dorm talking about things that blow your mind.

These are just a few of the things I loved about college.
