Well im thinking of going to a local college here in town, its still a university. Im just scared! Im worried about the whole work load thing. It just scares me, I dont want to fail and waste money or anything. I havent even done too well with scholarships.

Theres also the whole moving out thing. I know my moms going to be upset, its only going to make it harder on me. This is a rough time for me, so many things flying through my mind.

For any upperclassmen of college, any words of advice for a starting freshman?

the work load isnt bad if you prepared well in high school. usually people go to schools that suit their ability level as well, else the school wouldnt have accepted you

It's not that bad, really. I was scared, too, and I'm just now finishing up my freshman year. Really, you'll be okay.

1st year at uni was far easier than my last year at high school, dont worry about it.
If anything go for the social life!

I think like others have said, it's really not bad. But it's understandable that you feel a little nervous about it. After all, it's a totally new experience for you. But in the end, I think you'll see that all this worry was for nothing.

#1 The work load is MUCH lighter than High School. At least for me and my friends.
#2 Attend the lectures, study ahead, and do your work. I'm sure you'll do fine. If you don't understand something, ask your prof. right away, don't wait. I'd advise against asking your peers, oftentimes, they don't know any better either.

#3 Most of the college courses are curved (like a bell curve), so you just need to out study your peers;) Well, always nice to shoot for 100% anyways:P (haha! i actually done it with Chem this year!)
