You are free to attend or not to attend your lectures or exams. Your professors don’t remind you to do it, they don’t care if you do it or not, they just hand you the work and expect for it to be finished. There is no one to tell you what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. Students who go off to college after living with their families find that adjusting to social life and academic life is very different.

They get to decide the area of study, the kind of courses, the environment, and even their time spent on studying! But yet some students often find things to be unsatisfied with: the professors, the exam schedule, work-life balance, and of course the workload of the courses. The idea of higher education is based on knowledge and learning, where the students have almost complete control of all aspects of learning.

The good and the bad sides of it, the right and wrongs, the black and white and grey parts of it, whatever “it” is. College and University is a time in your life when you find your passions and your interests and you study them inside and out.
