Is College As Bad As High School?

Introduction

 School and college both have different life. Both teach us new things. College prepares us for industry purposes so that we acquire enough knowledge of how the industry works. High school is the start period of maturity age. Clearing high school is important since after getting clear in high school it becomes easy for the student to get admission to whichever college they want. Getting admission to the most liked college is not an easy part, for that one has to study very hard in high school. College and high school both give us a different experience, there’s no comparison between them. Both play a separate role in every student’s life. But the question is, Is college as bad as high school?

High school is not bad and neither college is bad. It is upon the student how he/she is responding to the things, to which they are being introduced. From high school, students get trained for the upcoming college life. During the period of high school students don’t get easily attached to their friends and they feel shy to express themselves in front of everyone, but in college students express themselves openly. They show their talents by participating in activities that prove their skills. Like dancing, anchoring, and acting in drama, by playing their favorite instruments. Every college keeps fest to enhance the skills of a student. 

It becomes an open platform for the students to showcase themselves in front of everyone. During the college period almost, we hit the age of maturity, people judge less and help each other to grow more. In high school, students fear presenting themselves socially. In college, we all take off our masks of judgment, and anxiety about being underconfident. Social media had given many opportunities to young adults, especially college students. Some colleges provide placements and internship opportunities to make the student well known in the workflow of the industry. Here the question is what makes a good college?

Is College As Bad As High School?

What makes a good college?

Here are some points of what makes a good college.

  • Proper Management: Proper management is the first step before starting or getting into any field. Management things make it better and easier. For every team, there should be a separate manager who looks after the work.
  • Campus: College campus is like another home for students, it is important to design the campus with motivated and positive images and shades. Ultimately that will throw good vibes to the students.
  • Facility: Every college must provide proper facilities to the students and staff members; this will help them to increase the rating point of the college. 
  • Location: The location of the college should be a proper place; it should not locate in any village area. It should be located at a place where nearby everything is available.
  • Provide funds: College should provide funds to needy students, by which the students who belong to poor families can also achieve a degree in a good college. That will help them to make their future bright.
  • Anti-ragging: Anti-ragging colleges are ranking top. There should be a strict rule in every college regarding ragging, that students should think before doing anything wrong.
  • Free sports: Every college should keep free tournaments of sports so that the interest of the students is stable and constant for their studies. That will help them to secure good marks in their studies.
  • Opportunities: As I mentioned before, the college provides placements and internships. That helps students to know their kind of interest. Every college should provide this opportunity so that the student’s time doesn’t get wasted by finding internships.
  • Smoking and alcohol prohibited: College age is the only age where we start building our habits. It is essential for colleges that they should make a proper form regarding smoking and alcohol, and that students should don’t do things that are harmful to the college and the student.
  • Library:  Some students don’t get a place at their home to study, having a good library in college help students to study peacefully. Some students love to do self-study, but lack of place and silence, it becomes difficult for them to study.

In every college is 75% attendance is mandatory? If yes, then why?

75% attendance had become mandatory since the students don’t go to college and they use to take college things very lightly. For making students habit of going to college and attending proper lectures colleges made attendance mandatory. If a student fails to achieve 75% attendance in his or her academic year it becomes difficult for the student to proceed for the further year. Like on every assignment college keeps a marking system, in attendance also colleges had decided to put marks. 

5 or 10 marks is the maximum number. A student has to achieve at least 7/10 to proceed for next year. After introducing this new system, every college has seen a great number of changes. College should bring these new systems that will not only help students but also it will benefit college and teachers too. In countries, like the US, the UK, and London there is also a system of compulsory attendance. And one day compulsory off to give rest to students and teachers. By which the student can work effectively and properly. For the extra holiday, the student must ask or inform the college prior. 

Conclusion

Colleges are not bad; it is upon the students how they are taking things. College and high school are equally important for the growth of a student. High school is not a bad place, it is the phase of learning. And college is the place where we apply the things which we gained from high school. Some colleges are introducing new policies so that students’ future lives also become smooth. 

The environment of a college plays a big role in shaping our character. The vibes of the college should be positive and enthusiastic.

Every student has the ability and power to increase the reputation of the college.
