No - The course is more difficult, and there are other things besides study to worry about. 

I think when people say that college in China is easier than high school, they usually mean the emotional pressure, not the learning itself. High school students are constantly preparing for the Gaokao, and that exam often defines their future, so the stress level is incredibly high. University life may feel lighter because students finally have more freedom and less constant testing, but that doesn’t automatically make education “easy.”

In my opinion, a lot of this pressure comes from how early learning is structured. If children are taught only to memorize and compete from a very young age, burnout is almost unavoidable later. That’s why I believe early education should focus more on balance and skill development through play. Tools like kindergarten worksheets and printable activities can help children build confidence gradually instead of feeling overwhelmed. I recently explored some helpful preschool worksheets and learning materials here:
