Those of you who have completed high school, university, and grad. school or professional school...?

Question

Would you generalize and say one of those periods is best described by "those were the days?" If so, which one. I have to say undergraduate school was the best, and the most fun. Talking philosophy until the wee hours in cafes, parties, idealism and an atmosphere of
loving to learn.....Graduate school I though of as a lonelier endeavor.....Law school was as well......

Answer 1

Law school was more fun than undergrad for me. The stuff you talked about in college happened to me in law school. College was more loner. I went to a commuter undergrad so that was the problem. Our biggest sports program was basketball and they sucked, so school spirit was pretty much nonexistent. Kids treated it like an extension of high school, so not many people could hold an intelligent conversation. The ones who did were too busy trying to get into med school.

High school was the most fun for me though. It had most of the best elements of college and law school for me. When I say, "those were the days," I think of high school first.

Answer 2

I think it all depends on how interactive the programs are you are enrolled in, what the large-scale school dynamic is like, and most importantly, what you mean by "those were the days"...

By my personal account, I would have to say that undergrad was probably the most reflected upon simply because I spent four years at a large public university with a great tradition for activities and athletics, and really began to grow to the person I am today. Graduate school, was great too, in that I was surrounded by focused and like-minded people, but at the same time there was a tremendous focus on obtaining employment as soon as possible, and elements on competition were always present.

I think it really depends on the person, but I enjoyed undergrad and grad school both much more than high school, and probably undergrad would top my list.

Answer 3

I'm graduating undergrad right now and going onto grad school, then professional school (medical school). I think undergrad will have been my most solitary years (not completely, but compared to high school)...graduate school will be more fun I think. I knew I had to do really well in undergrad years to set the stage for grad school and med school, so I really buckled down for the last 4 years. But I am looking forward to grad school next year! Most of the people seem more "my type," though I enjoyed all the different types of people in undergrad. I probably wasn't supposed to answer because I haven't finished yet, but oh well....it was a fun question to answer hypothetically. :-)

Answer 4

High school? Forget about it. I loved undergraduate school, and had a really great time, but frankly, I found it hard. I appreciate being forced to be well rounded and all, but having to take physics, etc. put a serious crimp in my attitude.

I loved loved loved grad school. I got to study exactly what I wanted, and was surrounded by people who were really smart and into it. And, the grad school parties were great. I'm still friends with loads of my classmates and professors from grad school (this is 20 years later!). Undergrad--a few, not a lot. High school, zippo, zero, zilch.

Answer 5

Graduate school, because I was in a program with people who all had similar interests to me. Your description of undergrad was *exactly* how I felt in grad school.

Answer 6

lol, ok first you may desire to think of roughly entering right into a school, because of the fact med college rather is going after college, like maximum different faculties like regulation and in spite of. I recommend fitst you decide on your bachelors then you fairly get to med college. So it doesnt actually matter variety that plenty it rather is college you bypass to for the reason which you will could desire to reapply afterwards for med college, yet thats no longer asserting you're able to do undesirable in college and nevertheless hpe to get to med college. ok so in case you decide on for to get to a good college with good status in drugs, attempt doing properly in bio and chemistry, and take the AP tests. yet dont basically dismiss different matters, reason the best applicant is the guy who excels at his field and does quite properly at everyother field.

Answer 7

Graduate school was the most fun for me. I was around people who had goals similar to mine.

Answer 8
