I'm a U of A Engineering Grad. I found second year the toughest but first year was not far behind. First year was crazy because it was a whole new world...parties, bars, and just adjusting to the campus lifestyle. Second year really threw me for a loop because the courses get a little tougher and we were taking 7 per semester (do they still make second year's do that?). The last couple of years were much easier. By third year you know the ins and outs of University life, when to party, when to study, etc. And the courses get WAY more interesting.
MonsieurFish...my advice is to take the Math course. It may be mostly a "review" of your grade 12 classes, but the extra reinforcement can't hurt. My other advice is to relish your University experience, especially in first year. Get involved, rush some fraternities (even if you don't plan to join, they treat you well when they're trying to recruit you), and don't take it too seriously. There will be plenty of time for that later.
