<p>If you come in prepared to work, and seek out resources to help you if you start struggling, you will be fine. Do you know yet what kinds of classes you’ll be taking (mostly humanities, mostly sciences, etc.)? </p>
<p>You will need to learn how to study, but, as others have said, there is pass/fail as a cushion while you figure it out, and there are Student Academic Mentors and classmates to help you figure it out. There are also Writing Associates to help with papers, and in the sciences there are study sessions/problem sessions run by upperclassmen (Science Associates in Bio, for instance, or Ninjas in Comp Sci, or Wizards in Engineering). </p>
<p>If you enjoy learning and are ready to work hard, you will be able to adjust to Swarthmore. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
