I'm going to have to side

I'm going to have to side with Julian and Chelsea. Generalizations were made in the article not only about Uni students but also about students from other high schools as well as college as a whole. You might be right that a lot of Uni students have a difficult time adjusting to college, but so do many other high school students. Many students who come from large public high schools with low standards for achievement have difficulty adjusting to the difficult and workload at the college level. Students at Uni have both a lot more freedom and a lot more responsibility than other high school students, making Uni more like college in many ways. If you're talking about the social aspect of college, I think the problem might be that we're watching a bit too much "American Pie." People expect that college will be easier, better, and more fun than high school because that's how it's portrayed in the media. Suddenly everything you do in high school has to be contextualized in terms of college; how it helps you get into college.
