If you pay attention, take good notes and study hard you will have no problem getting through college. Whenever someone has the sincere desire to succeed it usually happens. Have confidence in your own abilities and stay focused. "See you at the top!"

College, depending on where you decide to go, and where you get accepted to, is challenging either way. I personally did not ever grasp the concept of math. I never did calculus or any of that. My brain does not compute anything over basic math skills. In college math I nearly passed with a C+. And that was with studying my butt off and extra work. Every other class I was A's and B's.

Most colleges require you to take a math or two and your spelling and grammar skills of course are in not only your English classes but many others.

You can do it. You just have to get a study routine that works for you. Whether it be flash cards or writing and rewriting notes over. Whatever the case may be, you'll be able to do it.

If you want something that bad (whatever you're majoring in) you just have to set your mind to it, don't let the little things get in your way. Grab a tutor or a friend who is fluent in the math speak and one who's good with spelling and grammar.

In some ways, college is harder, but in other ways, it's not. It depends on you.

In college, YOU are responsible for you. No one will come and find you if you skip class -- most professors don't even take roll. You've paid to be there, it's up to YOU to get to class.

At the same time -- you are paying the professors to TEACH you, so if you study and still aren't learning, you can ask for more help.

The classes are harder, yes -- but why would you NEED to take math? If your major is English Literature, for example, I doubt you will need a math class. In college you can mostly take the classes that interest you.

You WILL need to work on your spelling -- but there are such things as spellcheckers and dictionaries.

Talk to your high school guidance counselor -- that's what they are there for! And good luck!

College courses in Math and English begin with your ability. You will take placement tests to make sure you are in the right class, and while studying, if you run into trouble, you can get tutoring. You will also have friends that you can study with.

The only thing you really need is to be willing to work at it. I recommend you try a community college - they are designed to take students who feel weak in some areas, like you, as well as students who are at the top of their class, but cannot attend a four year college for some reason.

Have fun!

I didn't think college was too much harder. It depends on the school and what major you're going for.

If you're weak in math they'll start you in lower-level classes. Seriously they have classes for Very Beginners (addition, subtraction). Those lower-level classes won't qualify as credits toward graduation, but they will help you progress to college-level classes. It will just take more time, but it is very much possible. Good luck, study hard, use all of the resources available (tutors, etc.) and you can make it! :)

It depends on your studying and time management skills. Some classes will meet 3 days a week (MWF-Monday, Wednesday, Friday) while some might meet TR( Tuesday and Thursdays). If you have good time management you will be able to attend your classes, maybe work P/T, study, and have somewhat of a social life.
Now, the level of difficulty, that depends. For example, US History in High school lasted all year. A good US History in high school would be able to cover from the colonies to reconstruction and after Christmas reconstruction to the 21st Century. In college, my history class was US History 151 from discovery to Reconstruction. For Spring Semester it was US History 152 Reconstruction to 21st Century.
I can promise you this much that all my course work was based on research and writing. My instructors gave me essays or research papers that were due for my grade. I hope this helps you out, but like I said studying and time management skills are paramount. Best of luck !

I thought college was actually easier. I'm not good in math and the class I took was actually easier than some of the classes that I took in high school. I think you will do fine. Just don't go in with a defeatous attitude and you may never do well.

let me tell you something- i am a horrible speller and math is my worst subject yet i graduated with honors from high school and college is a breeze for me right now. a lot of the time people don't make it in college because they don't try, and i'm sure that if you try hard enough you really can get your degree. besides, most colleges have tutoring and programs to help students excell in their classes, so if you do need help you can get it. i hope this helped =)

College is more difficult than HS. However, generally, spelling isn't that big of deal in college--you just type papers and use Microsoft Word to spell check. It might be a bigger deal in a freshman English classes.
A lot of people struggle with math in college; however, most colleges have math labs with tutors who are willing to help you. Additionally, most colleges have writing labs filled with people who want to read and correct your papers. I would encourage you to use both.
Good luck. It sounds cliche, but I believe anyone can excel at whatever they put their mind to

Spelling is easily fixed with a spell checker. Math can be avoided as long as you're not interested in science or engineering. Find a school that only requires one or less math courses to graduate.
