I'm in Year 9 at the moment and am so curious about college. What happens there, is it lessons like school or are they called lectures or something? Do you have a form tutor? Are friends easy to make? Is their a certain start or finish time to your day? Do you get a lunchtime?

Thanks
Joe

I went to Sixth Form at the same school

Was basically the same - but no uniforms and more freedom around the place, and you're on a more friends term with teachers etc

But you're probably on about normal college, havnt been so don't know

Why are the teacher's more friendly? is it cos your older and they understand you moreor something?

Well..most of the idiots who cause trouble during school have left and only the mature ones stay on (to a degree) so Teachers get a bit more respect and give it back in return

Gotcha, and yeah, that's better. Do you know whether or not in normal college you have a set time? Like in my school you it's 8:30 start and 2:30 finish.

Yeah in any education establishment there will be a set time, but you probably wont be in as much. and you get more ''free study'' time

Ohh cool, cos my school is like 5 miles away but my college is at the end of my road. Do normal college's have a canteen or do they allow you off the premises for lunch?

yeah colleges will let you off the premises because they legally can't hold you there, you don't even have to go (well you do, but you wont get punished for not going)

OverRated.

its not as much fun if your wanting it to be a fun experience
if your a geek you love it

[bbfan1991]

College is fun, tutors much more understanding with work and don't pressure you like teachers do at school if you work hard and be fair, you're treated like an adult if you act like one.

It depends what College your on about

Vocational Colleges where you do trades n shiz like plumbing, electricianing..or 6th form colleges to study a-levels

Don't have to be a geek to go to a vocational college, thats where most go

Your probably right my time in college was build up so much by Mates and cousins who went to college about meeting interesting people and having wild parties while learning loads which never happened. I found tutors to be less interesting in the course i did and the fellow students to have no personality i was so disappointed and was kind of heartbroken.

I think now there is more opportunities available to us students regarding education but we're still in the recession so jobs etc still hard to come by.

It was good for me, boring at times, but I had fun, I'm finishing my 3rd and final year there, for our first year, we could do what we want, 2nd year it got slightly more serious, but still fun, we got to go filming for a week in the countryside, and 3rd year...meh, kinda boring, but we got to go to London, see Chicago, and watch Loose Women, and were going to see Jeremy Kyle next week

I suppose it depends on what course you are on

I think all colleges should be like this

There were never any parties at my 6th form..cause it was just at the same school. loads of my friends went to an independant college to do their a levels and they met much more friends and went to loads of parties

[King Gizzard]

If you were that bad in lesson theyd probably just send you out of lesson altogether for that day, theres much more maturity involved

i never really came across any bad bad behaviour at college

I did in the first year, from a 23 old southerner, who was probably an alcoholic, but the class teamed up against him, because he was such a knob

Not always. It is amazing just how many morons attend college and end up graduating with worthless degrees. This is why there is so much academic inflation and is the reason why the Masters Degree has replaced the Bachelors Degree.

The vast majority of college students I've met were more interested in drinking than studying.
