Walking onto the college campus on the first day of college, as a college student, not a Dual Enrollment student, I never expected to meet so many new people, nor have the amazing professors I have. Not only that, the rigorousness of the courses was very high, which was to be expected. Compared to high school, college is different in a few ways; some of the differences are very apparent, such as with the social life of students, the academic rigor of classes, and the students’ relationships with teachers.

Passing a college class always requires a C or higher. In high school, school assignments are usually discussed as they get closer and aren’t listed in the syllabus. Teachers give out a “syllabus” which is usually one to three pages and not very detailed. There are tests quite often, along with quizzes.
