5 reasons why college is different to school

1You're considered and treated as an adult.
2We have no dress code! The days of wearing the same uniform as everyone else is over*.
3No more waking up at 7am everyday! Your timetable may vary so lessons don't run from 9am-3pm and you don't have to come in on days when you have no lessons.
4No more 'Sir' or 'Miss'! You call your teachers by their first name.
5More free time. It's entirely up to you how you spend your free time; take part in sport activities, earn money in a part-time job or simply socialise with your friends.
