Depends on the course, it is going to be harder but it is easily manageable particularly in first year if you have a solid working pattern

What course are you studying? How did you find the first year?

I read history at the University of Warwick. I've achieved mostly firsts, with two being at 81.

It goes like this at uni for marking- which is different to A level in essay subjects.

As you can see it is very different, I have however enjoyed first year profoundly.

Yeah there are past papers for exams, you use the lecture/seminar to provide the foundation for assignments- then further reading to provide the knowledge for the essay.
