What do you think are the differences between high school and university? Please include your own experiences.
class 2-5
Since Korean high schools are slightly
different from those of other countries, Korean students often experience many
new things when they are freshmen in university. Most Korean high schools are
too strict so that students don’t really have enough time to experience other
things besides studying. Therefore, there have to be many differences between
high school and university.
First
of all, unlike high school, there are lots of majors and classes that we can
choose in university. In high school, we can only choose we can choose only
between liberal arts and science course. However, in university, there are lots
of options. We can also register classes that are not related to our major.
Secondly,
in university, there is more time for us to make good memories with our
friends. In high school, students are too busy studying that they do not really
have time for themselves. So they don’t really have lots of good memories with
their friends. However, in Korean universities, the school offers you opportunities
for you to have good memories with your friends, such as membership trainings
and workshops. For example, I was on membership training with my friends on both
March and April. Although I had low expectation about our membership training,
we really had a lot of fun and made unforgettable memories.
To
sum up, high schools and universities are different in many ways, such as
choosing our own major or having more time with our friends. University life
surely has more freedom. However, if you want a successful university life, you
will have to use your freedom wisely.
