Is college really that hard?

all depends on major and whether you actually want to challenge yourself or you just want to get the highest grades without too much work. As a physics/math major i’ve found it pretty difficult here so far, but not so difficult that i’m pulling out my hair. Some of the tests i will admit have been pretty difficult with problems which are conceptually different from problems done on homework, where you have to sit there and think for a while, not like in HS where most of it was rote, and “oh i’ve seen this problem before”.
I know some people who are taking the easiest courses they can find and of course it’s a breeze to them. The annoying thing is they brag that they are beasting at an ivy league school.
Again, it’s all relative. Depends on major, etc.
