(Teacher) (Class) 1 November 2011 High School Vs. College Everyone needs a good education in order to sufficiently make it through life these days.

Conversely, both high school and college have their consequences for not completing one’s duties. Classes are another thing that is different. Most of the classes are assigned to students in high school.

Mainly because, students are not properly preparing themselves to what seems to be the “real world”.
Katie Gathman Professor Star College Comp 16 October 2013 Pro Co-Mingling Legislation Apart of the typical every day college experience would involve the opposite sex. Usually having mingled classes with both male and female is a good part of the college experience since it gives the opportunity to expand a persons social circle and gives the chance to intermingle with the opposite sex. Some students have come from all boy and all girl high schools, which they may not of experienced the opportunity to socialize and talk with the opposite sex.

There are thousands of teaching styles professors and teachers use. Each person is different and therefore has their own idea of what their class will respond to and learn from.
