<p>You’re only in a college class 2 or 3 days a week instead of every day, little if any homework except reading (unless you’re in a math or science class with problem sets but those still might just be assigned for your benefit and not for a grade), there might be 6 people in your class or there might be 400, you could have classes as a freshman with a bunch of seniors who are squeezing in their language/math/writing credit right at the end or there could be a 40 year old woman sitting next to you who’s come back to school after 20 years, you might only have 2 tests a midterm and final or (in english) 3 papers and a written final, and so on. </p>
<p>It’s a very wide range of stuff that can and will happen. Freshman year, I took pretty much all basic gen ed classes and they were really easy. Sophomore year, classes kicked my butt because they were alot harder than I was expecting them to be after my first year.</p>
