Each college/university is different. Some use the quarter system and others use the semester system. Think of a semester/quarter as a year in high school.
It can go by really fast if you're really involved in school activities or are constantly busy. Or it can drag by when you're taking classes you absolutely dread.
You really should make the most of your time in college. It's a lot of fun and an experience that prepares you for the world out there.

Do keep in mind that a year is going to be sub-divided into semesters or quarters (or something else) depending on the institution, and each one will be a new start in terms of classes. You will also have exams in between, so everything will appear to go by quickly.

I'm starting college this year I will be a freshman. I honestly cant wait to go back to school and I look at it like, after 2-4 yrs I will have a degree and I will be doing something with my life. Back to your question haha I think it will go by fast. (no experience) but if you think it wont just remember you get a pretty long break in december, well at least we do! Enjoy college hun!!!
