Laura’s Answer

The hardest part about college for many people is managing the balance between academic demands, social life, and personal responsibilities. Adjusting to increased independence, handling stress, and staying motivated can also be challenging.

Claxton’s Answer

For me, dealing with stress was the most difficult part of the college experience. A lot of that stress was self-imposed, as I had a strong desire to succeed, but despite my best efforts I always felt I was fighting uphill in most every class I took. I lost time because there were a couple of classes I couldn't clear the C-wall in the first time around and because I had a serious medical condition that cropped up during that time, that required three surgeries. All that prompted me to change majors.

Even under ideal circumstances in college, you will deal with stress, whether it's sweating through a final exam, dealing with a professor who cannot teach the material, or figuring out how you're going to pay for classes and books. In the end, it was worth it because I earned my degree, even though it's not the one I originally went to college to get.

I hope your experience is not as stressful as mine was.

TRAVIS’s Answer

Take a lite course load the first semester and try to find a part time or student worker type of job too. Consider taking CLEP tests for any basic course work that you could test out of. It can save a lot of money and time that way. Join clubs and sports teams while in college. It is a great way to meet people and find positive peers who have similar goals or that are driven to succeed. Your peer group will be important at this stage and later in life. Work hard and stay curious and you will create opportunities for yourself. Stay positive and treat every challenge or stressor as an opportunity to grow as a person. Good luck, you will do well.

Wong’s Answer

The hardest part about college is usually not the classes themselves. For many students, it is learning how to manage time, stay organized, and balance school with work, family, and social life. College also requires more independent learning, so you need to stay motivated and complete assignments without someone reminding you.

Since you are interested in psychology and criminal justice, you might need to do a lot of reading, writing, research, and critical thinking. These subjects often involve understanding human behavior, analyzing case studies, and writing essays or reports.
