This article describes five common student misconceptions about succeeding in college-level Physics courses: the miracle finish, the soft hearted professor, an extension of high school, weak areas won't be tested, and passing is more important than learning. These fantasies are unique to neither Physics nor freshman, but the challenge of learning Physics brings more certain negative consequences to students retaining these attitudes. Ascribing these student misconceptions to freshmen acknowledges that they diminish with increasing academic maturity.
