First year at an actual university!

Well, i'm currently at a community college for my first year and will be transferring for my sophomore year. I am wondering how different will it be? Everyone makes it seem like its soo much harder. I'm currently taking General Chemistry 2, Gen bio 1, writing, was taking calculus but dropped, and a mandatory class required for my community college for a total of 12 credits (after dropping calculus). I have a total of 19 credits and this is my first semester, first year at a community college. I will finish up one more semester and transfer out. I will be taking General Bio 2, Sociology, Philosophy, Writing 2, and trig.

As you can see, my second semester will consist of mostly electives. The reason being, so I can take more general eds/sciences at my 4 year. I don't need calculus for my major and so I dropped it, lost the money, but i'm saving myself so much time and headaches (I studied more then I did for bio and chem put together).

Once i transfer I plan on taking Orgo 1, Anatomy 1, and maybe another class or two. Would this be too hard? I'm worried considering i'm currently at a community college. How hard is it really? Any transfers?

Advice or thoughts, please?

Thanks

How much more difficult the University is than your community college is very specific to those specific schools. Sometimes there isn't a huge difference, sometimes there is. I had several friends who went from CC to universities, and the results varied.

I agree, it depends on the school. CC isn't always easier than university in my experience for some classes.

but I will tell you, I did a 2 + 2 .... well 2 + 3 lol ... 2 years at Community College, 3 years at University and it was seamless! My first semester at University I took Organic chem, and physics and had no problems performing on the same level as my peers.

I've transferred from community college to a 4 year university was recently accepted into UMNDJ dental school. I actually did better at my 4 year university than at my CC. In all honesty some of my toughest classes were at my community college. Moral of the story: work hard wherever you go and you can achieve success. Don't take too many core science classes at a community college if you want to get into Columbia, NYU, Temple, Tufts etc. They only like core science classes from a 4 year university. Anyway good luck!!

Thanks everyone. I will most likely take Organic 1, Anatomy 1, and another science my first year, with no electives or with one elective. I will try my hardest, although theres so much thats distracting me right now, i'm procrastinating every test and its all because I came back to this game that I used to play earlier in highschool, but quit for over 2 years... It's really making me careless, but I still do want a good grade, but not trying as hard for it.
