As we all know, education plays a huge part in our lives. Moreover, we must use it as a tool to improve ourselves and our country’s development. Nowadays, in the UAE there are many institutions where you can learn. In this essay, I am going to write about the similarities and differences between two of them, high schools and colleges.
There are three clear similarities between high school and college. The first similarity is that both institutions have exams. At the end of each semester, the teachers give you marks for the exams you have taken. The second similarity is that you can make friends in both places. Friends are important because they can help you with homework and all life’s problems. Yet another similarity is attendance. If students get more than 10%, the institution will kick him out.
Although there are some similarities between college and high school, there are also three major differences. The first difference is mobile phones. In high school you cannot your mobile whereas in college you can carry it everywhere with you. Another difference is students working with computers. In colleges all students must have their own laptops in contrast to schools where laptops are forbidden. Yet another difference is army training. In high school once a week, there is army training. However, in college there is no army training.
Studying at the college or high school is the same. Despite this, I would prefer studying in college. There are several reasons which make me choose the college, because in college we have more freedom and the communication with the teachers is better than in high school.
