I keep seeing posts about how easy university is and how people put in little effort, yet I am finding it extremely challenging 

Its because GCSE's and A Levels are dumbed down so its easy to pass, when you goto uni you realise your actually dumb regardless of your 20 a* grades? discuss....
I found that I was hard a lot of the time. That wasn't related to course material though.

I put in little effort at Uni but came out with a 2:1 in BSc Human and Physical Geography at Reading University. I went to the library twice, maybe 3 times...
Uni is more about understanding the way you need to work rather than how much effort you put in. It's your technique with arguing rather than just writing an 'essay'.
I always used to imagine that every published author I discussed in my work was dodgy and not be trusted. Therefore, I would try and prove them wrong/right whilst always being critical of their work.
Clearly it worked for me as I got the grade I wanted whilst spending 3 years on FIFA
EDIT: torrent your textbooks btw...
