Unless you're in the hard sciences like physics or biology, or you're an idiot, making a 3.0 or higher is a breeze. College is catering to the dregs of society now, not the elite. Go to class, take good notes, and read over them before the tests. You don't even have to buy the books in most classes. There's more than enough time to party 3 nights a week and play sports.

Now if you're in the hard science? Different story completely. If you want a 3.0 or higher and you're not a prodigy, you will have to work at it. You have labs (often 5 hours of actual lab tab + a lot of work on your own for 1 hour of credit), and you have a lot of reading and studying, and you can't bullshit or play on a teacher's sympathies. It's real work.
