<p>College doesn’t have to be as hard as some people make it out to be. It’s certainly not easy, but with some dedication you’ll be fine. You get out what you put in. If you spend time studying and make sure to be prepared for exams, start papers in a timely manner rather than waiting until the last minute etc you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>As others have mentioned, it depends in big part on what your major is. Some of the upper level classes you take as a physics, math, engineering etc. major are epically challenging. Other majors are a great deal easier and require a lot less time studying.</p>
