Universities are divided in university and university college.There is a very big difference in learning between a University and School.

Self reflectionDistinction between learning in school and UniversityThere is a big change in environment when a person moves from school to a university.The basic change is that the person becomes adult when he reaches university and he is ayoungster when he is in school. Learning in school and university are very different. Inuniversity a person should be self motivated and there is no one to tell you what to do any more.But in school there is always a support that you get from the teachers and staff. One moredifference is that in university independent learning prevails which is a big shock to studentswho come from secondary schools. In university when a student go in class, he finds more than250 students attending a lecture together, but it's not compulsory that they have good relationwith the lecturer but in school, there are only 25 students in class and all know the teacherpersonally and they share a good teacher-student relation between them. After coming to collegea person becomes independent and becomes capable of doing all the work himself without anysupport but in school the students are dependent on teachers of most of the work(An and et.al.,2018). In university a person has to go to library by his own dedication and there is no one tomotivate but in school there are teachers who are there to motivate.
