So how difficult is college in comparison to high school?

[Bahamut]

i mean i guess if you're a total dumbass you'd actually have to try to do decent
but if you're mildly intelligent, yeah, you can just jerk off the whole time and still good a good gpa and test scores

source: jerked off all through high school and did just fine

Yes but seeing as though I've done nothing but stuff around for this whole school year I'm facing either stuff around more, get kicked out and go to an alternative program or I can "be a total dumbass and try to be decent." All my classes are honors and college courses, so of course I'm gonna attempt to pass them.

The workload depends on your teachers, the courses you're taking, and the number of credit-hours you're taking. Be careful with what you choose.

This pretty much sums it up.

i took 6 years 100% online.
its very easy when you dont have to travel to school, or sit in loving lectures.

You have to win the game of life first. Overcome minimum wage by eating nothing but raw noodles because you can't even afford to cook them so you can pay your way through college.

Alternatively, move to Denmark and get paid for going through college.

Are you on a block schedule?  Because if you aren't, that's loving sadistic.

I am.

Okay, well it's likely that college is going to be a breeze for you because high school always makes college seem like a nightmare for 4-8 years, when honestly, depending on the field of study of which you want to entertain, you may be in for nothing major.

Into what field of study do you want to go?

[Otis Da HousKat]

If you attend a larger research university for sciences or engineering, state or private, be prepared to deal with a lot of foreign students, especially in your higher level courses and graduate work.

In my one course of about 50 students I am the only American student. Indians are flooding into our university system and they come from a culture that emphasizes cheapness over quality as well as cheating. So not only are people receiving a lower quality education because courses that usually capped out at 10 students max are now catering to 60-100 as the norm but the reputation of the university is damaged when they become breeding grounds for cheaters making your degree worth less and less the longer it goes on.

University workloads are going to be more than highschool, definately.

I am taking 18 credits as an engineering student in my 2nd year and it takes up most of my time.

You get to a certain point where attending lectures and taking notes is not enough time to learn all the material, and you have to commit much more time outside of class.

But bear in mind you're studying for an engineering degree. Someone going for a bachelor's degree won't have nearly as much of a payload. I know this because I've got two close friends doing engineering in college at the moment.

I know what you meant but an undergraduate engineering degree is a bachelor's degree.

[Doomonkey]

It just depends on the classes and professors. I have had classes with only tests, and classes with no tests. Your English class might require a lot more work than another English class of the same level. In general, I have found college to be easier than high school.

Whoops, my bad.

i already spend 12+ hours a day on work in high school and i can't really see how it could any longer for me but if it seriously is (in general) a more demanding time commitment i guess i'm going to get royally forgeted and that scares the stuff out of me

Unless you are including in class time for that 12 hours I call bullstuff. If class time isn't included then you are just handicapped for needing 12 hours for high school bullstuff busy work.
