What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
After making it to your senior year in high school with study skills that were almost nonexistent, it is definitely time to get serious. Next year will be a complete shock if study skills are not learned now while classes are still somewhat easy. Try the best you can and study harder than you ever have. It will be nice to graduate with the special honors that you can certainly receive. I know that you have said a million times "I am not as smart as they are" or "I do the best I can," but it isn't true. You have the ability to be just as smart as anyone else and make straight A's a reality rather than just a dream. Also, branch out from the group you are most comfortable with and make friends with those you haven't spoken to before. This can be the most important step in making the transition to college. You will meet many new people, whom are nothing like you in your future field, but be confident, accept everyone, and most importantly try to learn something from everyone you meet. Do not give up, and always strive for good grades!

The professors that teach the introductory computer science courses. They dont seem to know what it is they are talking about.

The GPA grading--its weird. If you have a 85 for a grade, it counts as a GPA of 2.0 (80) rather than 2.5. So it is pointless to have a final grade other than a 60, 70, 80, or 90.

Read all 22 answers What are the academics like at your school?
The academics at UNC Charlotte are challenging. However, it is doable. Most of your classes depend on your major or the selection of classes you choose to take each year. I'm not certain about other schools, but when you select classes you are able to see the capacity in the class. Therefore, if you learn better in a small environment where the professor knows everyone by name then you have that option to choose that class. Depending on the classes you need to take for your major, you will not always be able to choose small classes. Mainly your "into" or "general education requirements" will be your bigger class of 150 or more. Big classes at UNC Charlotte are not as overwhelming as you may think. There is still class participation through clickers and notecards. I am a Political Science and Criminal Justice major. Some of my classes are rather large, but the more I get into my major the smaller my classes get. How an individual perceives to take their education is up to them. Academics at UNC Charlotte is all about what you put in you will get out of. Therefore, good study habits, and going to class are essential. Students here are competitive. After college, many want jobs or to further their higher education. This means that each individual at UNC Charlotte has to work hard to get what they desire, but it all lies in the hands of the person.
