School is one of the most important priorities in life. Some people would say that there is no big difference between high school life and college life. Others would disagree. There are many similarities and many differences. For an example, high school is mandatory and college is not. High school teaches discipline and college teaches responsibility. College and high school life differ in many ways. With college there are many costs which include tuition, supplies, and depending if you live on campus or not, there are housing fees. High school is much different in this aspect. High school students usually live at home therefore they do not have a housing expense. Also, high school is paid for through the city taxes and most students depend on their parents to supply them with all the supplies needed for school. Many college students, if not all, have to work to pay for school and to pay for other bills they have. This is a way of building responsibility and learning how to balance life. High school students don’t always need to have a job and if they do then the money is usually saved or used as extra spending money. High school students are taught more discipline than responsibility by going to school at the same time five days a week and having to complete tasks such as homework, after school practices, and simple things like arriving to class on time. College is a bit different when it comes to showing up for class on time, leaving early, or even showing up at all. Some college students take advantage of the coming and going aspect. Most professors will penalize them by not giving them the assignment or marking them down a certain percentage on their final grade. High school students do not get to experience this. If the student is late for their high school class then usually they will be punished with a detention, a writing assignment, or even a trip down to the principal’s office. Although there are many differences,
