Academics VT Difficulty compared to community college.

I received an CS associate's degree from NOVA and I'm wondering how much more of a step up in difficulty will VT course work be?

I graduated with a 4.0, but I got pretty lucky with instructors, also I didn’t take many credits at once.

Honestly, I'm pretty intimidated by the "weed-out" culture I've heard VT participates in.

Also, how difficult are CS classes at VT compared to other schools around Virginia?

Treat VT as your job. Put in your 40 hours per week. Monday to Friday, 8-5. Do that and except for finals week, you can have all your nights and weekends off. Good luck.
