<p>I think PlantMom has a good point. The intro level courses that high school students take are often not as intensive, but the 200-levels at my community college always had high school students running back home. Maybe the math and science courses were a little easier than in the other departments because they didn’t require as much discussion or theoretical work, but our humanities and social sciences courses seemed to kill high-schoolers because they just weren’t ready for that level of discussion and theory. Even in my 100-level Intro to Lit course, there were two high school students who dropped after the first exam, and they were exceptional in their (private) high school.</p>
<p>But again, as we’ve all said ad nauseum, it depends on the college.</p>
