@Dancer14 Junior year of HS is exhausting for kids on a rigorous AP/IB track. And I’m going to disagree with another poster. All the kids at my D’s HS have said that college is easier than HS. For one thing, you’ll probably get a lot more sleep. Just saying that your perspective right now may be formed by exhaustion, and I think it’s important to recognize that you are probably experiencing your most strenuous year right now.
Well no one at my kids school thinks college is that much easier. I think it depends on what colleges we are talking about and what fields they are going into to be realistic.
There are fewer classes demanding busy work, but the few that you have are bigger rocks to move. I guess “harder” depends on what you find interesting or draining. If you’re into the classes you have you might not find them burdensome at all.
