So I just recently was able to add a college class :D.
Starting college should be an awesome experience, and I am hoping for some serious Straight A's if possible.The classes i am trying to add right now though are just general ed. , but its just awesome that I get to start college. Also im starting a semester early mwhahaha.
Well I would like advice on what to expect out of the classes if you could , but other then that just sharing my awesome start on college :D.
What i expect college to be like is hard courses that depend on the professor meaning luck of the draw type of classes. If you get a good teacher thats lenient grats your lucky ect., is this assumption true?
What are some of the ways to get dropped out of a class and i mean the very rare cases since the ones they tell you in class are super obvious.
How does financial aid work, do I get the check 100 percent of the time or is it dependent on every month?
Does the fact im not 18 affect anything in college (other then im like the forbidden fruit to girls , but i dont look that great anyways so yea.....)

Ive never been to college but im in university which im assuming is similar. Its all about about what you put in. There are people who hate it are on their phones all class, copy the assignments, and just cram for the exams. Be as active a learner you can be pay attention take notes, do things the prof assigns, and go talk to the prof about any questions. If you keep this up it will be a lot more enjoyable a lot less stressful and you will just need short reviews for exams. Coming from a 4th year electrical engineering student who learned this too late, or forgot and relearned in a harder semester  .
Oh also time management is important section off time for homework and time for fun SC2. etc.

The hardest part is to wake up at 6am when you know that you won't miss anything since you can get the teacher's class with the college's internet site ...

Show up. Do your best and do what you love and you'll be fine.

GO TO THEM LECTURES. Don't assume it's easy, it's not.
Don't make the same ^mistakes^ I made and get a crappy grade that puts a lot of graduate education programmes and jobs out of reach.
But don't worry, you'll still have a lot of fun even if you attend classes and stuff, there's enough time for moderate amounts of both.

In the United States, college and university are the same thing.
In Canada, they aren't.
I know this because I have exactly one Canadian friend.
I hope that explains everything to everyone above who misunderstand the different contexts.

Canadian College = American Community College, as is my understanding. They are generally smaller, do not have a research focus, and are easy to get into. Most only offer upgrading, one or two year certificates, or transfer programs to full Universities (although a few might offer bachelor's degrees). The institution I currently attend was recently "upgraded" from a College to a University.

Interesting. America has a lot of colleges that are academically equivalent to universities as well, so we pretty much use those two words interchangeably.
Thanks for that

Go to every lecture. Write your notes on paper or use a laptop with the wireless turned off. They're first year gen ed courses so, realistically, the standards are going to be pretty low. It's very possible for you to get A's, regardless of who you are or your academic background with some work.
