Has anyone taken this college course? Is it hard? I struggle in math, and i am taking this class next semester... how hard is this stat math class?

I took it in college and again in grad school. I don't remember it being too intensive. Math is not my strength, but I didn't find it to be at all challenging. Good luck!

This has a lot to do with the place, the teacher, your level and the courses level.
The place: Is it a liberal arts or engineering school? The former would have easier statistics.
The teacher: Some allow formula sheets, some don't. Some allow calculators some don't. Some teach well, some don't.
Your level: Are you comfortable with looking at charts? Intro statistics usually only includes arithmetic, square roots, and squaring things, so if you are comfortable with this, the math is not hard. Upper level statisics using integration. Memorizing formulas is a must to be able to do tests quickly.
Course level: Like I said above, some statistics only uses arithmetic but some will use calculus. Most likely, a statistics for behavioral sciences will not use calculus.
By looking at all these factors combined, you can judge if statistics will be hard for you.

Depends on the college. Some colleges are increasing the difficulty of stats in their courses, others teach very simple stats. Some emphasis proving things from first principle (learn it by rote) others are about applying stats.
I did a very applied stats program and it wasn't very hard. My friends doing maths majors who could do things with quantum physics that would make my brain turn to cheese would ask me for help with their applied stats homework.
The bottom line, stats is probably not that hard and most students pass first go. If you could pass and understand stats at highschool then you can this.

Compared to general statistics? What do you think? General statistics are applicable to all levels of rigor, suitable for the sciences. Business stats is applicable to business, the second place level of rigor, suitable for business. The least rigorous position of statistics is, naturally, the behavioral science statistics. I have taken general statistics and more advanced statistics. You should be able to send your finger nail clippings to behavioral statistics and ace the course.
