i agree with this.
im working NAIA college fall league games right now (some intersquads, some regular games) and love every second of it. its good competition, good pitching, good all around game speed. the coaches (typically) know what is going on and players are (usually) pretty good. i might be lucky that im getting good coaches and players compared to others at the same level, but its a good time and i find it easier to do rather than lower level games. i always love the first time behind the plate working college games after working a summer of HS aged ball too.
as umpduck just said, its definitely a more pleasant experience for me. also, as jicecone said; they are better players but expect an even better umpire, and thats another reason i enjoy that level more.
