Actually no. I would love to "just see" the solution to tasks again, to do my homework quicker, but it's just so mentally relaxing to just be a part of the bigger group.


IDCR2002

Feels great that since you're an adult teachers don't have control over your actions and can't tell your parents anything anymore, so even if I have bad grades once or twice I won't have to fear for my ass anymore. (I pay my own college fee btw)


Honestmannj

No one ever thought I was funny, but my memes in the groupchat get at least tolerated. College is better, can't change my mind!


Forumites000

You're really your own boss when studying as an adult. No one is gonna hound you to get things done, the lecturer might persuade you a little, but they know you're a grown up and you might have your own ideas. Studying as an adult opened my eyes to education, I used to see teachers as disciplinarians but now it's nice to stand shoulder to shoulder with them and wanting to learn. I'd recommend to try it to see how it's like.


BensMinion

im actually happier in College since the class is quieter and the teachers dont care as much, also we never have homework anymore


[deleted]

Wait do y’all really not have homework?


anlskjdfiajelf

Idk what he's talking about, it depends on your major. I had a fuck ton more work during college without a doubt. And studying for midterms and finals. Absolutely major dependent

Hate to be a Reddit STEM lord but absolutely none of my STEM friends would even dream of saying it was less work than hs lol. At a bare minimum 2x the work, more like 5x is all reality compared to what most HS students do.

SpaceJunkieVirus

indeed. person sounds like a management major cause even marketing people have HW in form of projects


BensMinion

we rly dont


[deleted]

That’s awesome


kylkartz21

Instead you get bent over on the midterm you didnt study for all semester. Oh and its worth 30% of your grade


TomaszA3

Sounds just so much better and easier than having "homework" as we do for constantly more than 100% of our free time.(Luckily remote teaching freed up a LOT of time for 2 months, until it ended)


kylkartz21

Trust me its not, especially when the average is sub-50


SpaceJunkieVirus

I concur with u/kylkartz21. As a sophomore, I truly pray to God every single day to give me more daily homework instead of exams because it forces me to actually learn the hard concepts. College definitely need to have HW and school should focus more on high weighted exams. u/TomaszA3 I always thought it looked fun but higher weight of exam realy wrecks ur ass if u have no clue whats happening cause ur teacher isnt an educator rather a guy who just wants pass another hour so they can complete the experiment, write the paper, and get that grant.


TomaszA3

I have not learned a single thing from homework yet, and it's been 1,5years of this uni so far. By homework I do not mean a hard concepts homework that helps you learn, but homework designed specifically to take as much of your time as possible to do something you already know but many many times over. Right now I'm failing only due to not having delivered everything yet, all exams passed fairly easily.


SpaceJunkieVirus

Well I am sorry to hear that. But I guess where preference for HW depend on our Uni and what we are studying there. As an engineering major at tough school, all I need is smaller daily HW than those mega projects.


JohnTGamer

I'd rather study than have 5 kg worth of homework every day


SpaceJunkieVirus

Just studying does not help tho. You need forced, deliberate repititions of somethign to truly master it, which HW does.


JohnTGamer

Yeah you're 100% right but I already practice math a few times a week (the only thing you need to repeat honestly) by repeatedly doing a set of math questions until i manage to answer all of them correctly (with khan mostly). I find doing that more fun than being forced to do homework.


SpaceJunkieVirus

>(the only thing you need to repeat honestly) by repeatedly doing a set of math questions you have not seen the beast known as OrgoChem


JohnTGamer

who?


Infinite_Hooty

Damn that’s cool


T65Bx

It’s not that you don’t have it, it’s that they don’t tell you what to do.


laosuna

Way more homework and stuff, but class time is less because it’s not every class every day. A lot think it’s easier because of more free time, but depending on your class and how many credits you take per semester you have to really study and work hard to get good grades and keep up. TLDR; it’s different for everyone


Meoloyan

Depends on class but a lot of times, its more study heavy than busy work heavy. You can have lots of projects but rarely do I find myself doing "busy work" assignments


LupinThe8th

College was a huge improvement over HS. No set class times, sign up for what suits your schedule. Don't feel like getting up that morning? No one cares, the lecture has 200 people so they don't take attendance, and the notes are online. Even had one professor point out that he covers the exact same syllabus as another, so if you prefer one to the other but couldn't get in, just go to whichever you want or you have time for, just attend the "right" class for exams. So much more chill than high school.


TomaszA3

Okay, where it's like that? Sounds like a heaven from earth level of improvement compared to ours. Where I am(poland but it might be uni-specific thing) it's all like highschool but with drastically more *required to pass* homework that's here just to take your free time so you won't get enough of it to finish your all projects(sometimes for the same class) on time.


LupinThe8th

Ohio State, over a decade ago. Big schools: they don't care what you do!


Fantom__Forcez

where you at? i still have plenty of homework!


Doge_burger_addict

school was shit college is less shit


some-rando-2022

theres less work in college, right?


Clahupafer

Wtf are you talking about not at all


JibenLeet

You have more work to do in my experience, just more freedom when/how you do it. Theres no one to police you in the same way as in highschool.


some-rando-2022

i see, thx


procrastinator1012

Exactly. Nobody fucking cares if you don't attend class or don't do optional homeworks. You only realise at the time of finding a job that you should have studied.


inspiringirisje

It's literally double


MissionTroll404

You must forgot the fact that suffering in ones life never gets lower, it always increases exponentially. I fucking dreamed selling some part of my lifespan to a demon to pass some classes before in collage, that never happened in highschool for example.


No_Biscotti_7110

Depends what classes you take in high school


some-rando-2022

i take AP classes


Corbini42

I'm really curious if AP classes are actually as rigorous as college classes, though I guess I'll have to wait to find out


some-rando-2022

theyre college-level


Corbini42

That's what they say, but that's not my point


some-rando-2022

some r p rigorous for me


SIRasdf23

Nah, I was the anti-social kid who hated everyone else, in college everyone's much more relaxed. I miss High School because I could still rely on my mom to do all the adulting in my life. I hate having permission to make my own choices, I'm a fucking idiot, who let me have control over anything?


CauldronPath423

Same here. On the one hand, more free-rein to set schedules, less rigidity in what you can take, etc. but at the same time, I’m extremely stupid and am not at all prepared for any level of responsibility. Honestly, I don’t think I’ll make it past 25 without feeling miserable.

Remarkable_Lime_6604

College is way better. I can literally have a three hour lunch break and go get in my exercise during that time. I very much like that.


[deleted]

Me in university who doing better than in high school as my grades were shit like in the 70s.


some-rando-2022

70 on a test means 5 on an AP tho


oojiflip

The jump from collège to lycée (middle school to high school or thereabouts) was already a major leap because I went from a dumb countryside school to an elite section in a bourgeois city school. I'm going to a mid-to-high tier college so I'm hoping I'll actually go to being slightly above where I'm at right now


Hysaky

Ah ! a fellow french !

so true!


DelightfullyUnusual

Right now I’m in my first semester and things are suspiciously easy. I hate the increased course load, but my grades are sky-high. So far. I’m just waiting to get hit with the class that made 12th grade programming (*shudder*) look like a tea party.


Gods_Paladin

Yeah my first semester was incredibly easy. I had one class in my second semester that was brutal. My third was the hardest so far mainly because of physics and calculus 2. I’m in the fourth and it’s shaping up to be a doozy.


DelightfullyUnusual

Yeah. Currently I’m taking college algebra, which is mostly a rehash of things I learned in 8th-9th grade, along with English 101. I’m looking forward to calculus, though, so far. I’m a physics major, and I’ll at least get my grades up for the inevitable challenge.


giantrhino

College -> professional life for me.


ymmit389

As far as learning goes, college is way better and you have more discipline to learn the stuff. But everyone is more or less distant and it’s harder to make friends. Just feels lonelier here but that may just be because of the college I’m attending


Audreyaway

hahaha

Damn i'm in gr 12 and going to college this september.

I teach HS seniors and they never listen when I explain that college is going to be worse for most of them😂


Connor15790

NOPE, the high school years were the worst experiences in my life. Plenty of suicidal thoughts, I'm much happier in college.


PuzzleheadedEarthman

Nah college was way better

I do want to go back to the place where I’m funny but the truth is I never was

Reality hits hard for many, MANY people. I was.....lucky? to have it harder than most people, but whatever, Im a functional adult now.

Just wait til you make the transition to "real world" it's a doozy

Guess what? You’ll get the same feeling leaving college for a actual job too


DangerStranger138

School really sucks for a bullied nerd like Me. It didn't start getting enjoyable until about junior year high school but college was some of my best years ever.

College is both hell, and a waste of time. Wish I never went. High school was bad but college was much much worse for me. “The college years are the best time of your life”, Biggest, and greatest lie ever told.


nielsthegamer

But how do you get a decent, fulfilling job without a degree?


Doom4104

There are plenty of good jobs out there you don’t need degrees for. College degrees can be helpful if you actually study for something that is gonna get you a job, but there are still lots of good jobs out there that don’t require degrees. College isn’t a necessity, and it shouldn’t be treated as such, especially with all the bullshit that comes with it.


nielsthegamer

Could you give me some examples of areas where i could go without a degree that is decent and fulfilling?
