There is a lot of free time in college, and by free time I mean you have a more flexible schedule. in usually take 4-5 classes and each class can have around 4 or 5 hours a week of class time. You don't have homework everyday. However, your homework assignments take a lot longer and if you don't spread it out, then you can get screwed. I think the work in college is much harder than high school. Think of it like having a 1-5 schedule. But all of your classes are AP classes that give a lot of homework.

Time management is one of the most important things you can learn in college. There will be a lot of free time like @bk1 said and there will be less class time but a lot of the learning you will be expected to do will be on your own time, with assignments and projects. Just get into a good work habit early early in the semester and try as much as you can not to procrastinate although I know that is easier said than done.
