My topic for our higher education blog has to do with the differences from your life at home.
The most obvious difference to me was the idea of being your own boss in a way. There is no one to tell you what time to get up, go to bed, what to eat, or when to do your homework. A life with no wake-up calls and no curfews. While initially the freedom might feel good, the reality is that it's up to you to manage your time, and if you don't do it properly your not going to have such an happy-go-lucky life.
With the newfound freedom comes the cliché of responsibility. In addition to the class-work you need to be able to feed yourself, do your laundry, etc.
Perhaps your social life will be affected by the move to a college campus from your friendly neighborhood. I'd say on a Friday night there are a few more drunks wondering around campus than there are wondering my neighborhood at home.
