Does calculus make physics easier?
Just make sure you’re comfortable with algebra (and calculus) and ask questions when you don’t understand. Calc based physics is much more fun than algebra based physics, and it is (in my opinion) much easier since you don’t need to memorize a lot of formulas without knowing where they come from.
Is General physics hard in college?
In general, coursework at the college level is designed to be challenging. Physics is certainly no exception. In fact, physics is considered by most people to be among the most challenging courses you can take. One of the reasons physics is so hard is that it involves a lot of math.
