What is the difference between a high school and college environment?

College requires students to function independently, be self-directed, and be mature enough to handle adult subject matter and a diverse population in an academic environment. College students are expected to contribute to the learning environment and behave in a manner that will not disrupt instruction, the classroom, events, or other campus settings. The student must read the Student Handbook for rules, regulations policies and procedures. The college workload averages two hours of homework for every hour of class time.  more
