OK...Well i'm sure college is somewhat hard, but what parents don't understand is that alot of us young adults want to see how it feels to really get out on our own instead of relying on our parents to provide a house and the food we eat!!!!!! I mean of course we will miss not having to pay bills and someone not there to lean on but, WE DO HAVE TO GROW UP SOMETIME YA KNO???????????If my parents made it on there own im sure i can to! SO SERIOUSLY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> IS LEAVING OFF TO COLLEGE REALLY THAT HARD?????

yes thats completely helpful. thats great advice.

first two years of college are not difficult at all. Just do all your work, go to all your classes, get a tutor for whichever class you feel you are not doing well in and you should be fine. Sometimes I feel high school was more difficult.

 I believe difficulty not only depends on your major, but more so on how hard you are willing to work toward it.

The most important thing is don't get to mixed up in parties, etc. You are on your own in college, teachers aren't gonna care if you don't do your work. Your the one paying for the course/materials, they will just mark you wrong or late and be done with it. Some teachers are kind, but don't milk it.

I am currently doing a community college to get used to college level work. When i was younger i never used to do my work, and my freshman year at college was terrible as a result.

Now i am doing my work, and the grades are beginning to show.

College is only as hard as you make it for yourself.

Try not to be pressured by your peers to go to parties or skip class. You do that and you'll never finish.

Also, don't feel embarrased about asking peers for help, and don't be afraid to see your teacher or go to your school's tutoring center if you need help.

I hope that advice helps you out.

i feel it is eaiser to look at college on t.v than go to college it is going to be the same but your doing the extra work , not needing your parents to  do anything, you learn as you go, have more than 100 students in one class, and when you go tell me how your doing

oh really very interesting not  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it really depends on how you apply yourself.   Everyone is different.  If you are extremely intelligent and have no problems grasping new concepts, then it would be easier for you than others.  It is all about how hard you want to work.  If you are afraid of hard work, then you are going to struggle in LIFE, not just college.  Laziness is only tolerated if you collect change at a tollbooth.  Every job has aspects that will require hard work to excel.  Don't focus on the difficulty of college right now.  No one can tell you how hard it will be for you because no one knows you as well as you do.  My only advice is make sure you follow your dreams and work like hell to achieve them.  I waited 15 years before going back to school.  I have held many jobs only to get back into the field that I originally planned on getting into right out of high school.  Don't let your fears cripple your future.

 I don't think so... i think of college as a really challenging version of high school with nobody holding your hand....and the party's are mostly at school lol 

It depends upon your ability to adapt to change, being with yourself, depending on yourself, and meeting deadlines, studying instead of partying, and how depend you are on your family... If you cannot "live without mom/family" begin your transition at a 2 yr, until you mature... How are you at managing your time, caring for yourself, and surviving in crises?  Being at college is a transition towards adulthood, and full independence, and if you are still overly emotionally attached to your family, then you may want to stay home. But, being home is not a life sentence, it can be a good time to save, work and prepare for your own place, while at home. But, if you stay home, you need to make a contract with your parents about what is expected or not from you and you from them.  This will eliminate issues in the harder times for exams... But, more than anything, know what you want to achieve before yr college, before you move to a 4 yr, become scared and want to go home...

College is hard! I graduated out of the top 20 in my graduating class and I am considering dropping out as we speak. If you are a science, or engineering major, it is that much more difficult. I wanted to be bio-major but now thats not going to happen. I am not a party person and haven't been out once since I been here. The most important thing is to remember time management is key! One other thing to note is to seek help as soon as you need it....that way u won't fall behind!

College is damn hard copy especially if you a fresh man,infact i dropout of college in yrII.

I believe that college is not as a hard as peoplpe say it is, but geting int o a college was a challege. Basically the professors can help a lot only if you have ask for a one on one tutoring program. There are many work shops and tutor programs tha tcan help you excel in your classes. I took Critcial Thinking and thta course had me think beyond my knowledge so we had to do research and find evidence on our opinion. Back to the point college is a hands on school which will help in the long run.

I agree. It definitely depends on how much effort you put into it. I'm a college junior right now, and this is actually the first semester I started to really buckle down and realize what's important. Unfortunately, I have a friend who is a senior and she still hasn't figured it out. She continues to party whenever she can, and rarely does the work that she needs to do. It definitely took some time to sink into me, but I'm doing what I need to do right now. And honestly, I work about five times as much as I have in the past, and it really isn't that bad as you think....unless you're doing Pre-Med or something lol Good luck regardless!!

its a lot harder when you jump straight into a university. community colleges seem easier
