 I thought technical colleges were not as challenging or as rigorous as a four-year university would be and I continued to think that for a few years even though one of my best friends was going to a technical college. I thought her classes weren't as hard. I thought her homework wasn't as difficult or as as much as what I was getting at the four-year university. And then I came to a technical college and realized how very very wrong I was because it's challenging. You have a hands-on learning approach which is so beneficial but that does mean you have to go beyond just memorizing some facts and filling out a multiple choice test. You need to be able to apply what you've learned so it's technical college is not easy but for me that learning an educational approach has been far more beneficial.
