The biggest pressure, for me, was that college was not the idyllic wonderland I expected it to be. Going to college typically means living in close quarters with people who are entirely different from you.
I was surprised at how intolerant of difference I was, not in the racial or cultural sense, but in the sense that I had been so self-selecting in terms of my friendships in high school, that I was unaccustomed to those who operated on a different wavelength.
On the academic side, I found that college is exactly what you make of it. Teachers tend not to fail students (or even give C's) anymore. There is so much pressure to succeed, that letter-grade success becomes the only barometer by which you measure your education. Paradoxically, the pressure to success drew me into temptation to just get by, and I regret that now.
