<p>Here’s my conclusion so far. There are “tough schools” where almost all students will find a challenging curriculum that requires them to work hard, if not “harder” than in high school. These colleges are in the minority. Then, there are many schools where a student will work hard if he chooses specific majors, courses, professors, etc. These colleges could be very selective, elite schools or they could be directional universities.</p>
<p>IOW, it’s very easy to get through college without breaking much of a sweat. That’s in line with the theme of “Academically Adrift” and other writings.</p>
