Is it over exaggerated how hard college is?

<p>Yea, I pretty much agree with what everyone else has said. If you developed a good work ethic and time management skills in high school, college should be no problem for you. I do think that the level of difficulty in college is a bit over-exaggerated. When I was preparing to head off to college, I was under the impression that the classes would be impossible and that I would spend my days locked away in my room trying to catch up on homework, but I’m finding that I actually am not even doing work most of the days that I have been in college. Most of the work I get is reading. I received more written work and more projects assigned to me while I was in high school. So for me, the work load seems to have lightened up a bit.
Also keep in mind that even if the work load itself may be heavier, you will have more time to do the work. You most likely will not be in class 8 hours/day for 5 days of the week like you were in high school. For example, I currently am in class only 4hrs/day for 4 days of the week. </p>

<p>Just keep up with your readings, keep track of due dates, and be ready to cram for midterms and finals and you should be fine.</p>
