Tomorrow?!
Good Luck!!!
You can come here and tell us, if you like it

noelia : Yes tomorrow noelia! And thank you so much for the good luck! I'm gonna need it because I am so nervous.

College is'nt so bad, As long as you do your homework and show up to class you should be able to do well. Its not to diffrent from High school expect Professors seem to care alot less about they're students then High school teachers do.

As one professor told me "we are'nt paid to care" kinda a jerk move, but and unfortunate truth.

Namrea : Thanks for the advice and I will be doing my homewrok and will be showing up to class everyday!

Elara : Thank you so much! I'm going to need all the luck I can get.

yea i go to college its fun i dont go away just a community college its gonna be soo worth it when im done

I'm going to tell you something that you need to remember. You're probably feeling an insane amount of freedom right now. Don't let it go to your head. I did for a little while and I fell behind in my studies. You have freedom, but don't over-use it.

Anyways. Good luck! And I hope you're having a good time.

Well, I'm not going to lie and sugar coat it. For me, it was horrid. I was overbooked, overstressed and overwhelmed. I took way too many classes on at once and eventually I broke down and couldn't do it anymore. So yeah. Make sure your ready to make the commitment emotionally physically and mentally. But you never know. I really liked it the first month.

Thank you everyone for the wonderful replies and for those of you wondering or asking how is it going for me at San Francisco State University, it's going great! I'm loving and enjoying every minute of college so far and yeah I do have a lot of freedom but my academics come first. I like every one of my 4 classes and the professors are great too. I have been feeling a little overwhelmed lately due to the amount of homework I've been getting but it's nothing I can't handle. I took AP and Honors classes in High school and believe it or not those classes have prepared me for college. Thanks again to everyone who replied and you guys can ask me any sort of questions or post anything you'd like as long as it's related to college!

I think the biggest change between high school and college for me (besides the freedom of spending so little time actually in class during the day) was the amount of work and reading that was required. I remember having to read 1-2 chapters a week for each class I was taking (5) plus the associated problems out of the book (not required for grades, but similar questions were on quizzes and tests) and the assignments, tests, quizzes, essays, groups projects etc. that were assigned. I learned a lot of time management skills the hard way.

Keep the posts coming guys!
I haven't posted in this thread about my college life so far but would like to let you know that it's going great. I'm enjoying every moment of college even though I've been receiving a lot of work.

Eazy_187um_KiLLa : I'll post! My situation is about the opposite. I really don't get too much work and I feel okay about college in general (nothing too amazing). How are the people at your school? Many at mine seem to be typical college students.

NotJon : Hey Not Jon! And over here in San Francisco theirs all kinds of people, literally! There are parties, concerts and events, it seems like theres always something going on in the big city which I love.

Eazy_187um_KiLLa : Oh man that sounds great. I want to go to SF one day and see the Giants. It must be one of the funnest places in the country.

San Francisco is indeed one of the best places. There's so much to do in this city, that's it's crazy! The Giants rock! I have yet to see the Giants play but hopefully will real soon! As of now I'm just enjoying my vacation until I go back to school this Monday.

I am glad that you are enjoying yourself. How are your classes so far? Do you like your professors? And yeah, San Francisco has a lot to do and see, and I like that they have such good public transportation.

My classes so far are pretty good. We just got finished with a semester and a new one has just started (it started this past Monday). I'm already liking my new classes though, the professors are really nice, smart and willing to teach as long as you listen and participate in the class. San Francisco does have really good transportation and a lot to do! I'm having so much fun in college!

My experience is going pretty well. Its a little tough but I'm getting used to it. My professors are all great and so were last semester's professors.

The best tip I can give you that has changed my college experience for the better is ratemyprofessor.com! I look up a professor who's time slot fits my schedule and if they're rated badly I just don't pick them and I look for one that's not as bad. So far it worked out great because NONE of my professor's grade homework. The downside is they have only 3 exams and then thats your grade; except in the case of my Calculus professor who says you could fail all 3 of his exams but if you get an A on the final you pass the class with an A! HE'S AWESOME LIKE THAT! lol Plus oddly enough he claims to have a youtube account for teaching calc. with another professor but I haven't seen it. But Im looking like crazy because from the sounds of it he's embarassing himself on there! But yeah my other professors are kool too. My Biology professor lets you text her if you're running late or miss a test and she runs an online chat room study session a day before every exam and if you praticipate in it you get +2 extra credit points on your exam!

Eazy_187um_KiLLa : I just started college this past fall as well at the University of Florida. Done with my 2nd semester in 2weeks! What did you think of your first year overall? From the sounds of it I didn't adjust nearly as well as you did (congrats), but I ended up getting more used to it this semester. Last semester, the lack of knowing people was really killing me. Still kind of miss walking to classes in High School and passing by people friends all the time.

not me but my older brother has add him! his username is jprasad he is my older brother 26! and he went to college he went to Douglas college write on his comment board plz! i am his only friend! plz! Add him!
