-- Posted by what shall i do at 3:56 pm on June 27, 2009 What was your first year of college like in terms of learning. like was it like a grade 13 and you just get right into it easily or were you like wtf is this? idk what is even going on. and mention how well you did in high school with how well you transitioned into college -- Posted by shadowpool at 3:57 pm on June 27, 2009 It was equivalent to about 9th grade. That's why I quit.  I graduated high school with a 3.8 gpa.  I still have dreams where I blow up my old high schools.  The transition to college was--there wasn't a transition.  It was exactly like high school. -- Posted by MizsAddiction18 at 3:57 pm on June 27, 2009 highschool was a joke as long as you work hard, the transition isnt that bad but it is different -- Posted by Marco Machine at 4:02 pm on June 27, 2009 totally different, 1000x better -- Posted by TigressaLynnMae at 4:22 pm on June 27, 2009 It was a new experience. There's far more studying to be spent with in college. For every class/hour you take, you probably need to put in two to three hours at home, each day.
