I have studied in both Canada and the US in Civil Engineering.

It has been my opinion that in Canadian Universities there are less weekly assignments, however, in order to pass your classes, you will be required to do more independant studying and reading (ie: reading without being told by the prof that you have to) In the US, I have seen that there are ALOT more weekly assignments. All considered, there will be the same amount of time dedicated to school work.

I study civil engineering at a Canadian university. I take a full course load and I work at a part time job (aside from class work) about 15 to 20 hours a week. To be honest, I don’t at all have the same amount of time to “hang out” as I did in high school. High School was a breeze. But I suggest that the best way to adapt to the new environment is to “hit the ground running” stay up to date with all assignments, the first week or so will be a period of adjustment. from my experience, by the end of the first week, you will be already well into the subject matter of your classes. Soon, you will realize how easy you had it in High School, and you will be proud of your new accomplishments in University life. If I can suceed, you can too!

engineering is also a pretty heavy subject though…anything else and you should be just fine!

but if you want to bee a good student in your class you must study.but it is not too hard.and you have enouph time for do your other wants.

any thing in the world not bee hard becous of one persin can do this if want.
