长难句分析

Right about now (时间状语), thousands of college-bound students (主语) are preparing (谓语) to take their first steps on the hollowed grounds of the schools (宾语) they dreamed of attending (定语从句).

这个句子的主谓宾结构都有点长，首先主语 students，前面由 thousands of 和 college-bound 来修饰这个主语，谓语是 are preparing，宾语是to take their first steps on the hollowed grounds of the schools the grounds，后面跟了个定语从句they dreamed of attending 来修饰 the schools。

长难句分析

Getting here (主语) has not been (系动词) for the faint of heart (表语), but many (主语)will fall prey to (谓语) the next high-anxiety issue (宾语): living with roommates.

这是由 but 连接的并列复合句，第一个分句是动名词组 Getting here 作主语，has not been 表示完成时态，表语是介词短语 for the faint of heart，意思是适合胆小的人的，跟前面的否定连起来就是不适合胆小的人的，变成了双重否定，整句意思是到达这里（学校）是件具有挑战性的事情。第二个分句主语是 many，指学生，谓语是个固定搭配 fall prey to，介词 to 后面是宾语 the next high-anxiety issue，冒号后面是对 issue 的解释： living with roommates。
