species found in almost every countries of the world. Both the education institution
have similar and their special important things. Both of them have a lot of students,
teachers, classrooms and officers. On the other hand, university is more crowded than
high school. That means, high school students luckier than university students in this
topic, because as the number of people decreases, the interest increases. However,
university has beauties as well. In college, your hair and clothes are not interfered with
like in high school. Also, there is no obligation to attend university. Every person has to
go to high school, but university is one's own decision. In short, high school has much
stricter rules due to the younger age of the students there. In addition, most universities
have campuses. Campus life is very important for students because of nature, trees,
oxygen, drinking or eating in green area and many more. And last one, it is much more
difficult to finish university than high school because university teachers are better than
high school teachers. That's why they make more efficient lessons and put you on the
exam with more difficult questions. Overall, although both are schools, they have great
differences like rules, people’s ages, lessons and many more.
