I will be going to Cal Poly SLO as a major in mechanical engineering. I am kind of worried about the workload. Is college a lot harder than high school? How much time on average do you spend studying? Cal Poly says it should be between 25-30 hours/week…is this about right? Was the transition between high school and college difficult? I have taken honors science courses, regular english and history classes, and AP math courses. How many units should i take? Does the difficulty depend on the college? I would really appreciate any input and advice. Sorry for the long post and all of the questions. Thanks guys.
