How hard is it to attend college/universities full-time?

College, in general, is harder than high school.  That's because, the more you learn, the more complex it gets.  Also, in college, the professors expect you to take more personal responsibility for your learning than your high-school teachers did.\n\nIt's true that having difficulties with your mental health can affect your performance in college, just like they can affect any area of your life.\n\nIn addition, sometimes what makes college hard is if you have too much going on in other areas of your life at the same time.  For example, many people struggle with working full-time and going to college full-time.

Ok, if you REALLY insist on dealing with school and college. \n\nFirst, make sure you do actually like reading and learning, could be anything. If not, pump gas or something.\n\nIf you DO like it, then force yourself to sit and look at the books. A few hours a day maybe. No matter how boring it is. Then get at least Bs and try. Then when you get to College it will be pleasant to be able to choose more what you sit and stare at for those few hours. Also, you will know how to do boring memorization and math when you have to. Those are the main skils you need in College. The more you lie what you have to learn, the easier it is. Its good discipline to be able to learn whatever you have to. Like eating only rice for week or so.

Normally 12 credit hours is considered attending full time, and is the amount recommended.  A lot of it depends on which classes you're taking.  If you have a number of difficult classes, I would say only take 9 or so credit hours.  If you have a number of easy ones, you could take up to 15.  Some schools have a set amount you have to take in order to get money for loans/ financial aid, so that would be something to check into.  Just make sure you don't try and overdue it, because you don't want ot take on more than you can handle, especially in the beginning.  You can always add more classes in for later semesters once you see how the first semester goes.  It's also a good idea to check if you have any classes you should take consecutively (such as a science class and a lab), as well as doing the prerequisite classes early so you can do the more advanced classes later.\n\n3 credit hours is normally equal to one class, although this can vary for electives and some other classes.

It's not that difficult. I have a college diploma and transferred to a 4 yr. degree online studies with another school. They gave some credits towards the degree, and I was given a deadline to complete it. I completed it way ahead of schedule, as a matter of fact I broke the record for that school ! Now I am thinking of doing my MBA online with a more prestigious university. There are a lot of online colleges/universities, and you need to check out their accreditations and credentials first before signing up. But these days, a lot of real universities are putting their full degree online as well. \nThere are a lot of online information for your research that you don't even need any library at all. It also depends whether you are the type who prefer to be alone (leader type) in their studies and can get more done by yourself, or needs to be with a group of students as in interacting or socializing as with a peer group (follower type) to get anything done. \nIn the end to be successful, it all depends on your own motivation and aspiration to get yourself through, with or without a peer group. G'luck!

Scholarship:\nYou have to ask the universities you are applying to and they will have some schemes for you to apply. You can also ask your own government and other scholarship associations in your country (search the net).\n\nP/T Job:\nOnce you're in the country (in this case, UK), it's easy to get a part-time job through your university's career center who can guide you well. It's not at all difficult as long as you abide by the max working hour regulations. In the UK, that is 20 hrs/week which is enough.

It depends entirely on the university. There are some very "difficult" universities in England, as there are in the US. Likewise, there are some "easy" English and American universities.

I think every high school is different, but 2 classes is definitely not enough. Most community colleges require 12 units to be considered full-time.

If money is not a major factor, I would much rather go to university by all means!! \n\n1) You are going to be working the rest of your life anyway, so put it off as long as possible.\n\n2) full time jobs may average 40 hours a week or roughly 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. When I was in college, I spent approx. 8 hours for the entire week in class. This doesn't include the amount of outside of class time needed to do homework, study, etc. though.\n\n3) There's more fun things to do while in college. The parties, the like-minded, free thinking people willing to explore new experiences just like you are. No one to report to (unless your parents are paying the bill, then they feel that you owe them a status report)\n\n4) If you can get a full or partial scholarship, then its even better. There's tons of ways to cultivate your entrepenural spirit in school, selling used text books for a profit is one.\n\n5) University offers an experience that you cannot duplicate in any way whatsoever in a full time job\n\n6) if you are so determined to have a job, you can still do so on a part time basis while in college.

College is all about time management. It's really hard for some and easy for others.\n\nWhat helped me was to make a daily schedule blocking out times that I was busy (class, work). Then the empty or "non-busy" times was free for studying. But of course, you must make room for your social life. You'll learn to balance it... hopefully.

Truthfully, probably not.  The competition to get into prestigous schools is phenomenal and one of the barometers is the SAT.  It obviously consumes a lot of people.\n\nOut in the real world, your SAT score won't take you too far, but a college degree certainly will.  Do your best on your SAT's when you take them so you'll have the best choice of colleges available.  You don't have to score 1600 to succeed, despite what you might have heard.

It can be hard really. I've done it though. \n\nhttp://apps.collegeboard.com/search/adv_...\n\nThis is the SAT page. Lets you search by different criteria, incl Fin Aid. Really easy to work with, very useful. I chose the colleges I applied to using it and 3 of 10 offered full scholarships. \nIt might be useful to know that there are two types of scholarships - academic award based and need based. First see which are available to you - need based are almost always only available to Americans. \nBR

No, if it is something you like it shouldn't be difficult. It should be exciting. Make sure you get internships and start building a resume with some experience. Try to learn a second language if you don't have one already and try to travel as much as you can or learn about other cultures. Become active in international clubs and organizations at your university. And last but not least it's important to choose to go to college in a metropolitan location where you will have more job opportunities after you graduate.

There is nothing to worry about. Your options are almost limitless. As long as you are prepared to work hard, you have nothing to worry about (except the cost of tuition and books).

Not too hard, but very demanding... i took the courses for a year and i am now a paralegal. You just have to be determined. It will be a lot of work, but it is not hard....

It is VERY possible. Full time at most schools is 12 credits. That is most often four classes. Most schools today offer online and distance education. I'm an adult with a full time job (Mon-Fri) and a part time job (weekends). I have taken either three or four classes each semester. I take a combination of night and online classes. Online classes free up some time for me and give me the flexibility of working on my homework and studying when it's convenient for me. \n\nMy advice: start off slow. Take only a class or two your first semester so you can get the hang of doing both work and school. If you feel you can handle it, add classes the next semester. If you try to do it all at once, you will burn yourself out. \n\nGood Luck!!!
