My entry into a college after I had completed my school education was an important event in my life. I felt very much excited on the very first day. I found that there is a great difference between school and college life. The world of the school is narrow and limited. The world of the college is large. I Teachers in a school are strict and use the rod to beat the boys very frequently. College teachers are like elder brothers.
Most of the teachers in a college live in the world of ideas and books. We have students of all kinds in a college. They
discuss the current affairs, art, cinema and sports. Some of them neglect text -books but they do not miss the daily
newspaper or the running commentary of a cricket match going on in some part of the world. Some of them would even engage the teacher in the class in a political topic and discuss it fully.
There is a lot of freedom in the college. In the school I was busy from the first period to the last. But in the college, I
attend classes only for three or four periods. Even for being late for the class, I am not punished. College life has given me a bit of political awareness, I have also got a good grounding in electioneering. The elections the College Union, for which there is a lot of canvassing me my first experience of democracy.
Sometimes political leaders come to address us on the important problems facing the country. Then I felt that I was not only a college student but also a citizen of the country. Some time there are strikes in the college. The strikes engineered by some senior students who are either paralyses or fined for misbehavior. They want their fines to remitted but the principal would not accept their demands. they would force other students to go on a strike and paralyses teaching work. This looks like Trade Unionism. I do like this.
As I study in a co-educational college. I get several opportunities to mix up with girls and enjoy their pleasant
company. I feel like a romantic hero in their company. I feel that if a boy is lucky enough to get a good girl as his friend, life in the college is full of pleasure .
I like the college life for its freedom, intellectual awakening and its various academic and extra curricular activities. I think that even after completing my education, I shall never forget the happy days I spent in the college.
