It depends. You get to make your own schedule and choose which classes you are taking. So if you wanted to you go every day of the way or two days and whatever number of classes you can fit onto your plate. You still will have to take math and English classes, but once you pass the required levels you can then focus on other things classes like science, history, or classes related to your major. You will find that college is also a business, so they are going to make you classes that have zero relation to your major and basically put there to make you waste money or get you a liberal arts degree. Don't buy your books from the school bookstore, you will get ripped off. Either rent on amazon, craigslist, some used book store, or some other online retailer. Take the bus, it probably save you money so that way you aren't buying gas as much. Also never neglect financial aid because it is basically free money from the federal government, sign up for it whenever you can. Just make sure you register through the proper website that you school provided for you. If you state offers a fee waiver or something, then also go for that. Also use your financial aid money wisely, don't be the jackass that uses it to buy drugs, booze, video games, or anything else unrelated to your education. Use it for books and glasses and any other school related expenses. As far as difficulty goes, it similar to what you do in highschool, except your fellow classmates come from different age groups and the work is more or less the same.
When picking a school, you should go for the Junior College because it cheaper than going to a fancy four year school. You save money and possibly a long trip and when you are done at the JC, you can transfer your units to a four year school and finish up there. Avoid loans as much as possible, high interest is a bitch.
