PSedrish -- One you might want to add? Weather. Son was asked by a relative what has been the biggest surprise so far about college. He answered that he didn't expect New York to be so cold. LOL.

From my own observation, the biggest challenge for him has not been the amount of work, but the way college courses are organized and graded. He worked at the steady pace he learned in high school, but came home a little shell shocked by tough finals that count for 50% of the grade.
