College is super hard. Imagine being retarded and having to learn rocket science. Yeah kid, you're fucked

JK I'm starting college too but don't think it'll be hard. Scored good on the bio and an English class which will give me at least 6 credits going in. If it's anything like the classes I took to do those, it'll be easy.

Junior, senior, and if you make it to grad school will fuck you up.

I did 18 credit hours only because they refused to let me take more

its honestly not that bad unless you're in a music conservatory or something super intensive

personally high school was more difficult

At my school 16 was the minimum to be considered full-time.

Expect to spend at least an equal amount of time out of class working as you do working in class. That said, you should be taking AT LEAST 15 credit hours per semester, ideally 18-21.

College isn't about living. It's about busting your ass to get out ASAP so you can start earning money.

> it sound like a lot
no it doesn't

College is similar to midterm or final exam weeks only every day and you pick your own schedule. Basically, just read the textbook chapter that's relevant to your lesson and take notes in class and you'll be fine

Okay, feeling a little better thanks guys.

Introductory classes, in my experience, are a free A with minimal work. Don't fret about it.

as long as you're only working 15 hours or less per week that's perfectly fine.

not sure how it works in whatever third world country you live in, but in america his 12 credit hours is 12 hours in class per week and 36 studying and doing homework. so 48 hours per week learning.

18-19 hours per semester Master race here. You pay per semester, get your money's worth.

Went to a top 10 engineering school, BTW.

This is the basically the purpose of college. You have to learn to balance your work, social and personal life and by the end of your degree you'll be far more productive and a more balanced person overall.

I got into my university by the skin of my teeth (as it happens the department I studied in had a smaller number of appkications than usual so they dropped the requirements which was how I got in) and in my first semester I was often crying myself to sleep due to the stress. By final year I was getting higher than average grades in all of my subjects and even came top of the year in 2 of them.

You can do it, slugger.

Which school did you go to where you pay per semester? Every university I've seen in america you pay per credit hour.

You must have not looked very hard. At every college I've ever heard of, you're paying the same price for 16 hours as you pay for 19 hours. You pay less if you take less than 12, but anything 12 and up is typically the same price unless you try to take over 20.
