Juco is a great way to get your feet wet in the college arena and see if you like it and can handle it at this point in your career. Also, preseason scrimmages are an excellent training ground.
You will want to pick up the NCAA Rules manual and a book that I bought has been helpful - the Rules Differences book which breaks down the Fed vs. NCAA differences in plain language and gives case plays as well.
I've found, at least at te juco level (I've started this year myself) that the game isn't significantly faster, although it is just a tad, but is a smoother game. Kids know where they're supposed to be (instead of some high school games where 25% of the kids have no idea what their job on any particular play is), the hitting is harder and the players are bigger.
Make sure you have a particular position in mind as well. You may want to see where there is a need in whatever association you are applying to. Good luck.
