However, in college I have experienced the professors much more willing to work with their students. They seem to care about whether you pass or fail; almost like they don*t want to see you back again.

Also, they tend to (DELETE) stay after class and help the students that have further(DELETE) questions or need extra help.
Professors tend to understand their students better and it seems they want to see them succeed. They are much calmer and relaxed than high school teachers.

When it comes to the removal of teachers, not only is it an expensive process but also a lengthy one going on over the course of several months.

Because college students are considered more “mature”, students are required to manage their own time checking due dates for each class themselves.…
