CGS is mostly liberal arts and humanities courses. The biggest difference IS the freshman & sophomore period, after which you pick an academic path and complete the rest of your intended major there. Over the CGS years, you generally have 3 required CGS classes and an elective per semester which should be used to take a class towards one's degree requirement in another college. The 4th semester concludes with a team "Capstone" project, and classes end in late March/early April if I remember correctly.
In terms of the workload--it only accelerates the transition into college inasmuch as you will get pounded with an unreasonable amount of work, coupled with hand-holding. I don't mean to take the wind out of your sails, but none of my friends like it. They feel that the work isn't a good preparation for transition into other schools, and the majority of students are not serious about academics.
Just my $0.02, however.
