because they slack of or they are just lazy.
college is designed for students to learn... so usually professors are there to help you.
you only fail if you don't trym hard enough

I've got a few ideas, some based on personal experience:
- Pressure to be social. For the first time (presumably) you are 100% free to do what you want when you want. You have to be responsible to get your studies done first and then have fun (or at least plan it all out). Not everyone has that right - it could be immaturity, or just the new freedom causing their minds to go cloudy.
- For those who are naturally smart, you may have issues with college work being harder (and more specific to your major) than ever before. I used to study about 1 hour before a test and ace it in HS. I was a 4.0 student. I got to college and BAM, engineering hit. I turned in 30 page handwritten homework assignments that I spent 16 hours on and studied for days for tests (I got C's and D's for 2 semesters then got my butt in gear and figured out how it all worked).
- Like someone else said...skipping a HS class is bad, but in college, you usually don't HAVE to go to class. A very big temptation for the lazy or hung over.

1. Free Time-no parents, no rules, no schedule other than classes. Many students can't manage this freedom for at least the first year.
2. Faster pace- higher difficulty-If students fall behind, they are reluctant to ask for help. If you have classes 3 times per week, you better start studying/reading for the next class AS SOON AS YOU FINISH THE PREVIOUS CLASS.
3. no set study schedule. Most students don't set, and stick to, a set study schedule. If they did, their struggles would be reduced substantially.

Most go because it's the right thing to do after high school and they're not ready to be there and take the responsibility of studying and learning seriously. It's their first time to be out on their own and it becomes more of a party for some. College is not for everyone. I went right after high school and I know now at 33 I should've taken a year to get the goofiness out of me. I didn't finish then because I wasn't ready for it. I am now back in college. I understand better why I didn't want to take it seriously then.

The professors don't take attendence in college, so students skip more classes than in high school.
