High School Classes Versus College Classes
While most high school classrooms are pretty much the same, college classrooms come in a variety of
shapes and sizes. There are labs, recital halls, clinics, studios, small classrooms and large lecture
halls.
Why so many types of classes? College classrooms are designed with you
in mind. If you want to become a scientist you will spend lots of time in a laboratory. If you want
to go into the health care career field your class will resemble a hospital clinic. If you want to
study art or design, your classrooms will be in studios. Some of your classes may even be outdoors.
Another difference is that in high school you move between classes when the bell rings. If you’re late,
you are in-trouble! But in college, there are no bells. If you’re late, you’ll be lost and
professors won’t stop to catch you up.
A final difference — there’s no assigned seating in college. You can sit where you like. Just make
sure you get there on-time!
