This Depends on Your Major and What Professor You Take

Being a mathematics major, it may seem quite difficult to do well when taking upper level courses. But, I strongly advise to create study groups and work on homework and test review (it doesn't matter about the major). My advice would be to try to do your very best on the first couple of assignments/exams so that the professor knows you're a decent student.

The workload of a math major is also dependent on your professor, some may be impossibly difficult, while others can be a breeze.

It Really Depends on Your Major

There is always tutoring options available to you, and if you have trouble in mathematics, there is a math tutoring center that will help you all the time. The professors (depending on your major) can be difficult to understand, but make sure you spend a lot of time when figuring out your schedule. (I strongly recommend checking ratemyprofessor)

The registration process can be never racking though, registration starts at 12:00AM and you have the possibility of not getting into your classes. As time goes on (when you become a junior and senior) it is easier and less stressful to register for classes.

The basement of the library is a great place to study too. They have 3 "study rooms" with a smartboard/projector screen that you connect any laptop too (mac and pc). There are also many other places to study.

Use Your Resources

There's tutoring available for most classes, yet people never go them, IT'S FREE PEOPLE... well technically it isn't. Anyway, the tutors are students who did very well in that class, which make it easier to understand. The professors I have are great they really encourage students to ask questions and want them to completely understand the information. Use the writing center, too. They help you make great papers.
