I am a highschool student taking pre-AP (advanced placement) classes. The curriculm is way hard and I stay up 'til almost 3 'o clock every morning. My teachers say it will all prepare me for "college". Some colleges I am interested in are Spelman, Tenn State, Florida A&M, and Clark and Atlanta. Is college really as hard as teachers make it seems.

Do not get discouraged with people telling you things as such. The thing is that not all colleges or even professors are the same. The same goes for people. My experience may not equal the experience that you may have. What tends to be easier for some is not always as easy for others. I am a senior in college at the University of Mississippi(Ole Miss) looking forward to graduation in May 2007, and I must say that my college experience has been one that I will not forget, even in the academic aspect. Some classes were a breeze, while others challenged me greatly. I will say that there have been a couple of nights where I had to pull all-nighters. I will not lie to you, some things that you are going to experience in college will test your skills. But things will work out for the best. Have faith in yourself.... only you can determine your college experience. You know your limits and the things that are needed of you to get the "job" done.

Some college classes are very tough, but when going to a smaller school like TSU... you'll do fine. I didn't study much in high school at all, and found that I actually did have to study some in college. It might be wrong to say this, but I found that you'll have to do about 1 and 1/2 times the work you did in high school for most college classes. But just remember to balance the books with other activities. College isn't just about grades (although it is mostly); it's about the experience. I graduated in May and I miss college more than I thought I would. Enjoy it!

I personally found college easier than high school. Sure, sometimes you will be staying up till 3AM finishing papers or assignments, but at the same time you are in the classroom for less hours. Depending on your major, the work load can be tough so your teachers are kind of right when they tell you they are preparing you for college.
And besides, if you are used to staying up till 3AM doing homework in high school, and you're doing well in all your classes, then college will not be such a big transition for you and you could end up graduating CumLaude.
Right?

Hmm.. All I can say is enjoy your high years and course load b/c it absolutely changes. Professors in college are less tolerant of unsatisfactory work, and b/c you are paying for this you may feel compelled to get good grades especially b/c you don't get your money back
I hope that you get into one of the above colleges that you listed
Have fun in college too (you'll never 4get your college years esp the ones spent away from home)
Congrats and Good luck on your future endeavors
In addition, it also depends on your area of concentration that you decide to take up while you are in College b/c some majors are definitely easier than others

Well, college can be demanding, but honestly it is all about time management. Working that hard will prepare you for college because AP classes are at times more demanding than your regualar general education requirements. The AP classes are worth it. Good luck and I'm sure you will succeed greatly!

Idk there's just so much competition these days. . .
I'm a freshman in high school and I'm talking AP bio and pre-AP math. It's tough, but if you work hard it's supposed to pay off in the future.
I can't say much about colleges since I'm obviously not there yet but yea I'm up until like 3 everyday too.
Good luck! (sry for not answering. . .this was more like a comment)
