College advice?

I may be the worst person to answer this for Ты as i never made it through my first год of college, admittedly because i was going through a rough patch at Главная at the time, but still.
Anyway what Ты could do, is if Ты have a friend или an acquaintance that has been through college или is going to college already, talk to them about how it is. Ask what goes on, how's the curriculum, how's the work load etc
Here in England we have 'open days' where students who are going to college (or thinking about it) can witness a class in progress and even take part if Ты want to, walk around and get the feel of the geography of the grounds, talk to students and teachers etc. Write a letter to the school requesting last years curriculum and a students work-load (if allowed) to see how it's done and if Ты can cope.
but most of all, wing it. School life will always be tough, and some days Ты will feel swamped with work Ты think will never be finished. Don't forget your teachers are there to help Ты if needed and if Ты need extra time to complete work или catch up, или even if Ты don't think you'll finish on time anyway, your teachers will always allow Ты to stay behind at school, или use a few минуты of your breaks etc to help Ты through it.
