Depends on the school / college you choose?

Rules will change, one may have more features than the other ect..

Well all my mates went to sixth form and they have a stupid dress code and they're not aloud to leave the school until 1.00pm they also have to call the teachers sir/miss

I went to college we don't have a dress code we come and go as we please ( as long as we go to lessons) and we call the teachers by their names for example I call my tutor Mike :) hope that helps

I go to a Sixth Form College... I never really knew there was a difference? Maybe a college is an educational facility that has a major and minor, while a sixth form is a place like school but with A levels?

I went to college and I think it's better than sixth form. Lecturers were more laid back and at school, it goes by a timetable so everyone has a lesson at the same time. At college, classes are at loads of different times.

I also think college made me grow up alot more when I've seen my friends who are in the sixth form they seem very immature and when i hear about what they do at their break times they still do stupid things that we did in year 7 I'm not saying everyone whos in sixth form are like this I'm just telling you what i've noticed :)

I agree.

They treat you as adults at college and the ages in classes are mixed.

There the same thing over here, sixthform collage gets its name becuse it handles yr 12-13, more often just year 1 and 2, unless the sixth form collage is attached to a secondary school.
Collage is though sometimes used interchangably with univerity which you can blaime america for.
