/sci/ - Science & Math

so i'm 30 and going to college. i graduated highschool a bit early, about 14 years ago. i'm studying engineering, i have 4 classes and a lab, and i'm working hard to keep up with the course material. it's midterms and my current GPA is 3.92 and i still feel like i can do better. my point is, college is fucking easy, and yet about 2/3rds of each class has dropped out, and many of the remaining students are struggling. are there any other oldfags that can lend me some perspective? i don't remember highschool being this easy. i was taking AP classes during my senior year and it was hard as fuck. my current classes are a complete joke compared to highschool. has the curriculum been made easier since i graduated, or am i just an exceptional student?
