How was your transition from high school to Cal?

<p>In terms of workload, free time, etc....</p>

<p>Thank you very much in advance!</p>

<p>Now granted, I didn’t do a lot of these in high school and that’s why they went up. High school is just a bunch of busy work that is due every day (like homework). In college homework is due about every week if you have to turn it in. You have reading to do between every lecture, but no one will know if you do it or not. It will feel like you have a lot of free time (because you do at first), but at some point it stops and you need to realize it so you can start staying with the class and not have to cram.</p>

<p>wow u actually have free time? well i guess thats true. if i dont have high school classes and i took all my college classes…i could get everything done and relax. (ive taken 13 college classes while in high school). i really want to do other stuff and it seems like my whole day is taken up by hs crap. and i work really really slowly so that’s probably why. but u shud still have time to do whatever no matter how fast or slow u work. that’s good though, if u have time at berkeley.</p>

<p>You can space out the work however you want in college, it’s pretty nice and I do end up having a lot of free time. I pretty much never do any work on Friday/Saturdays.</p>

<p>woah that’s so kool. this was the first weekend (for me) that i could actually feel like i had time to go to the beach, hang out with a friend without worrying about time, and still have more free time. i was going to go to a concert but both of my friends cancelled on me. : / i hate living in a poor town : [</p>
