Coming to college, we are able to come across many more things that we aren't normally accustomed to in our high school settings. Settling into Brockport, I came to find out what I liked and disliked. So here I have compiled just 5 things that have been pretty up there in my list of likes since coming here.

1. Girls

There is a much larger selection of girls at college. In high school, the average public school has a population somewhere in the thousands if it is in a larger area. Some smaller schools have less than 500 students and that leaves not many choices for guys to chose from. In college, this is around the number in each graduating class. For example Brockport has over 8,000 students. This means we have a much larger selection to choose from when it comes to girls.

2. Parties

In high school in order to party, people had to wait until someone’s parents went away for the weekend and left the house to the kids. This made it so parties only happened every once and awhile. At college, the students themselves rent their own houses without mom and dad. This means that they are able to throw parties whenever they want. Every weekend there are multiple parties and even sometimes on the weekdays, depending on the week. This gives students the opportunity to go out much more than usual.

3. Gym

At most colleges a gym membership is included in the price in tuition. This gives many guys a better opportunity to go to the gym and “get big”. In high school, some schools had gyms that were used by the teams of that season or had poor machines. This meant that people had to go elsewhere and pay for gym memberships. Now that it is included in the tuition, it is much more convenient.

4. Setting Your Schedule

In high school, whenever school started was usually when every student needed to be there and stay the whole entire school day. In college, you have an average of 5 classes that are at various times of the day. You are also able to make your own schedule in college. This is nice for guys because if they want to sleep in, they can choose whenever they wish to start class.

5. Freedom

In college unless you are on a sports team, there is no curfew. This means that guys don’t have to answer to mom and dad anymore. This also means that you don’t have to ask before you do anything. Guys can go out and do whatever they want, whenever they want. They can also bring over whoever they want and they can stay out without having to okay it first.
