How hard is it to maintain a 3.0 GPA?

<p>Any current students or parents of students have any experience with this? My son's merit award requires this. I know my daughter has a hard time keeping a 3.0 GPA with out a lot of very hard work and she is a much harder worker than my son. He was a little late to catch on in high school, but has progressed and matured and is really looking forward to college, so I am hoping he will shine and do his work. Plus, some of his lower grades were more due to the typical "bored, boy" habit of not handing in silly, busy-work assignments. SO anyone with any experience at SU with this?</p>
