Differences between School and University
At my high school, if I didn’t show up to a class, my mom would get a phone call and I’d get a “talking-to.” However, in university, there’s no attendance list. Whether or not you show up is up to you – but remember, you’re paying for the class whether you attend or not.
Some classes will take attendance as part of a participation mark, but for the most part, nobody is holding you accountable to show up for class.
It’s your choice to attend class and do your work – not your teachers' and not your parents’. Nobody is going to tell you to do that assignment – it’s up to you to get it done!
This freedom can be exciting, but remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Not being hounded to go to class and do your work can often present a challenge, especially for a master procrastinator.
But don’t worry too much, soon after starting school you’ll get an understanding of what works for you and how you can motivate yourself to get work done.

Independent learning


In university, you’ll do a lot of learning outside of regular class hours. Readings and assignments are just as important as content covered in lectures.
For some classes, you’ll be in a classroom for only three hours a week, but you’ll spend much more time doing readings on your own. This can be hard to get used to!
When I was in high school, all new content was covered in class and homework was only to reinforce what I already learned. When I got to university and started doing learning on my own, I found it difficult. However, by now, I am used to it and I actually like doing some independent learning.

Flexible schedule


Whether you went to a semestered or non-semestered high school, you probably had school during the same time, every day of the week.
In university, you'll no longer have a set time for school and you'll often have lots of time between classes.
I love having gaps between my classes because they're the perfect time to grab a meal, hang out with friends, get involved with Waterloo's clubs and sports, and study. You have flexibility with how you want your week to look like.
