DİFFERENCES BETWEEN HİGH SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY

When I finished high school and started university ,actually I knew that they are
not the same.But when I started university,I reliazed that they are differences between
them.They are a lot of differences but perhaps four differences are more important for students . These are life of students,psychology of students ,the lessons they are given and the teacher.
The first difference is life of students at both high school and university.High school students depend more on their family by lifestyle than university students.Because high school students live with their family .Unlike university students, high school students have to take permission from their parents while they do something .As for university students , they usually live away from their family.They are responsible for what they do.(www.smu.edu/alec/whyhighschool.htm)
The second difference is psychology of students.University students feel themselves less under pressure.Because they are no longer high school students.In contrast,high school students feel under pressure.Because they have to take and pass a big university entrance exam.
The third difference is lessons they are given.In high school,students get 6or 7 lessons in a day.They have lesssons five days a week.In high school ,topics of lessons have more basic information ,whereas university students get different number of lessons in a day .Mostly they have four days in a week.Besides,topics of lessons have mora academic information.(www.smu.edu/alec/whyhighschool.htm) ,(www.davesdaily.com/funpages/collegeschool.06_05.htm)
The four difference is teachers.In high school,teacher are less formal than university teacher.High school teachers usually finish only university.However;university teachers usually are instructors.They have at least a master degree .High school teacher have more relationship with students than university teacher .In the university usually come to class,give lessons and go. www.smu.edu/alec/whyhighschool.htm), www.davesdaily.com/funpages/collegeschool.06_05.htm)
I think university students themselves more free in all sides.Because they have decided what they want to do.They don’t have to ask other people.Besides,in the university they are given more oppurtunity.There provide the best opportunity to use them.They increase their chance of success by using these opportunities more effective.
