It depends on what kind of student you are some people come to college being the best in high school and end up going to parties every night and not studying then they wonder why their grades dropped so much. If you just do the work and go to class it really shouldn't be that much different than high school. Good Luck!

Yes and no. A big jump up and a jump down.
There is no real answer. It depends really on your university and course, if you are accepted for the course and you work hard, you can do it!
I think the most important thing is to get at least a first or a 2-1 grade at the end of the course otherwise employers may not be interested. The quality of the University is less important than you think.
My advice would be to apply for a course at a slightly lower level than you are told you can achieve. Enjoy being smart, not have to work too hard and get a 1st.
Good luck.

I studied Law, Business Studies and Economics at A2 and now I'm a 2nd year LLB Law student and would definitely say A-Level was harder. For example at A-Level Law was very capped in terms of how far you could take the subject, and this made the structure alot harder to grasp in the grand scheme of things. At Uni you can push your learning to the limits. At degree level it is so much more structure. Sure your accountable for your own work a lot more, but still, i think its easier in comparison.
My grades have been continually improved at degree level, i haven't had to resit anything, at A-Level it was a different story.

i think it depends what kind of student you are. I went to a good school and therefore was spoonfed the whole time so got good alevels but when i got to uni, i realised i have no idea how to teach myself and do anything academic basically! If you are well motivated and are on track for good alevels without being spoonfed then i would say thats a very good sign, if you find that you need to be told what to do alot,you may find it more difficult (like me!) Making sure you select the right course is a major part though as if you really enjoy it, that is motivation enough to do the work! (i didnt!). Good luck though, obviously aim for the highest qualifications you can! :0)

It's different - you require a lot more self discipline as you take full responsibility for studying, there won't be someone there to push you. You most likely will also learn an awful lot more about yourself, other people and the world around you, as for many Uni is their first time living away from home. It's a fantastic experience and I'd highly recommend it, not only is it a great learning experience but it's a blast too!

it is tottally diffrent but not difficult in a way it is actually better but trust me i thoght it would be hard and i am studying business, yes you need to study deeply but not alot, but an hour of study has to be an hour of study, but it is fun and when you get the results you want, you will feel great.

i found the jump from GCSE to A-Level a lot harder than the jump from A-Level to Uni. Then again it does depend on what course you have chosen

I'd say A levels are probably more difficult!

A levels are easy - a degree is not.
