@OhSorryUYo says “They put in the work in high school and now they get to enjoy themselves by partying it up in college, that’s how it works.”
No, Not true at all in the US. There are countries where that is how it works. Those countries have cram school and highly competitive, if not crazed, secondary schools and lousy colleges where students simply party. That isn’t the way we do things here in the good 'ol United States. Universities are serious places where good students are academically oriented. That isn’t to say that none party but it is not the case that a good high school record paves the way to a partying existence in college. That is the mentality of a different country or of loser students in the US.
