Only if you're 15 and want to "learn to program" and don't have any idea what that actually means.

There is a lot to learn, but it's not particularly hard.

yes it's very hard.
if you plan on making a video game or whatever, give up now there's a lot more to it than you think

is this standard in univercity?

My University offers C++, but it isn't part of the core CS curriculum. People take it as an elective

it's annoying but kinda necessary

Once you start throwing pointers and memory management into the mix, it gets appreciably more difficult. It's still not by any means unmanageable.

Very hard if you're not in a related field. I'm in an introductory course and it's annoying. It's not that I don't understand the code(well I kinda missed some classes so some new terms idk), it's just when I get asked to solve a problem. I don't know where to start and it's frustrating. Gonna do a lot if studying now and hope I at learn pass with a C

It varies. Look up the ABET requirements for accredited universities. They list the requirements a university has to fulfill to provide a "Computer Science Bsc."
One of those requirements is some amount of credit units of just programming languages, which is up to the university. Most choose Java or Python as an introductory course. Many include C++ in the curriculum.
As it may be obvious, it's largely a politics thing

C++ has a lot of features, therefore people consider it difficult.

Obfuscation is a big problem with C++. I find it a lot easier to understand source code written in the other major languages like C, Java and C# than with C++ because of templates and overloaded operators.
