You are doing university in Brazil? Guess I can give a more appliable opinion (though I can't say I'm the normal average engineer student...).
The beginning of the course will be a little bit difficult, with getting used to the new speed at which things go at university and all the different ambiance.
I particularly LOVED doing pretty much all courses but experiences may vary. At the beginning you'll be having general courses that all engineer students have, specific courses only come much later (think at least 4th semester).
I'd be a hypocrite if I told you to study very hard, but, from what my collegues told me, you really should study hard.
My advice is: study hard and attend all classes for the first semester and see how things go, then you can change your behavior accordingly. It's really personal whether going to classes works for you, or doing all exercices. You should really experiment and see how well you fare.
It is much harder than HS, for sure. Specially if you are in a good university (not the private, easy to enter ones).
Experiences may vary a lot in between different engineer courses and different universities.
