The thought of college terrifies me too! I learned from my sister that college isn't nearly as hard as it seems on TV. She in her second year of college, and I went to stay with her recently. She only had three classes a day! I was expecting her to be gone all day and to come back really late at night, but she was at her home with me most of my visit. I thought it was strange, so I asked her if it was hard. She said it was frustrating at times, but never truly hard. But that's just my sister- she's a supergenius! She also said that the professors treat each and every student with respect, treating them like equals! She goes to a state university (University of Oklahoma or OU) so the school may be very different from other colleges, but I am confident that not all colleges are scary.
So I think, from my experience with my sister, that college is only hard if you make it!
