What do you call homework in college?

Homework in college is called problem sets. From my experience in engineering, there’s not a whole lot of busy work, but the assigned problems are harder than those in high school. Often they’re not collected.

Is college or high school more stressful?

Probably the biggest difference between high school and college is the amount of time spent on each. In high school, a student spends over 30 hours/week at school.

Should I take 4 or 5 college classes?

If your working a full time job, don’t take more than 4. Since you need to balance your work/school schedule. Now, if your not working a full time job, I would recommend taking at least 6 classes each semester. It is better to take at least 5, per semester than just 4.
