The Difference between High school and College Throughout the essay, “The Difference Between High School and College”, Professor Jack Meiland approaches college work by comparing college to high school. Professor Meiland says, “a large part of college work consists with discussing and examining the basis of current beliefs” (Meiland). Meiland states that, even though both systems require students to observe basic knowledge, college guide students to search for the foundation and reasons behind the topics.
