<p>It depends on what classes you take and what you major in! Given your focus on English papers, I’ll assume you’re planning to be a humanities major. You probably won’t find it that different from your high school workload; if you spent 3 hours reading each night, and wrote analytical papers on the weekend, you’d be fine. </p>
<p>You’ll have a lot more freedom, both in terms of classes (if you don’t like math, you’ll never have to do problem sets which should free up a lot of time) and time management (since you’re only in class for 3 or 4 hours/day, you have lots of free time to do homework—or go out with friends, or do extracurriculars.</p>
<p>For an intro or intermediate lecture, the workload will probably be 2 short (5–6 page) analytical papers, plus a final and maybe a midterm or weekly responses. The reading for each class will probably be around 50 pages/week.</p>
