Hi
Yes, I regret going/coming. I didn't want to, and in the end didn't have the choice, but if I had known more about what the work and style of learning is like I would have tried harder to not come.
I'm just wondering why your asking-are you trying decide to go to uni or not?
If you want more information or anything else please ask.

In my opinion, it somewhat depends on the person you are before you go to university? Personally, university helped me grow as a person. Before I came to university I was pretty useless at 'being an adult'. I couldn't really cook anything or look after myself but coming to university forced me out of the comfortable life I had and made me do things for myself.
I would say there is an unfair societal pressure on people to go to university and that was half the reason I felt I had to go. But that's a different story!

No worries!
I'm sure that's a good thing! I guess it depends on the situation.
I hope we don't cross paths for the wrong reasons! I can't help myself sometimes though.

Does anyone regret going to uni?
In a sense I regret not going, but I never found a subject of which I wanted to do.
I guess I regret it due to the student lifestyle you lead, the independence you gain, the knowledge you gain and the people you meet.

I do (I think) and I shall wield that power without mercy
(I have to do some work now so adios to everyone!)No I studied a good degree at a top uni for the subject taught by well regarded lecturers and paid £3,000 a year for it.
Yes i regret it but what can i do
I never regretted going to the institution as a whole. I don't regret anything because all your mistakes in life make you who you are today.
But I went to uni in Wales and completed a year of it. After realising I swapped my course 3 times (Classics and English, Ancient History and English, and then Medieval History and English) all in the first year, I found that the course just wasn't for me. I missed A-level Philosophy so decided to go study that with English elsewhere. I would have applied for Philosophy if my teacher predicted me a B, but never because she hated me.
But at the end of the day, I met fabulous friends there, and 2 years on, I still speak to the friends from the Welsh uni and still meet up with the ones I've close to. And that's the bigger reward out of it.
I think you should defo go into uni with a 100% mind frame of knowing what you want to do, otherwise it does cause complications and extra debt that no young person wants to be in! But I met best friends that I can't see my life without them. So, I don't regret having gone to the first uni at all. It's funny how life works out!

Kind of. I only did my degree because I was planning to do a PGCE afterwards however that really didn't go to plan so I feel like it was a bit off a waste really. However I did make friends and although he didn't go to my uni I possibly wouldn't have met my boyfriend if I didn't do my degree.

I'm 50-50 about it, since there's been certain positives about attending uni, but then there's also certain regrets about it. Not to mention the uncertainty that comes with doing a degree in the first place (e.g. "Will I meet the required classification for the job I desire?", "How would I fare against an applicant that doesn't have a degree, but industry experience?" - After all, it's a competitive/demanding field), something I felt during my first year at least.
I still could've entered the field without needing a degree, though it means I would've needed to do certain jobs which I don't particularly take an interest in (e.g. Line support), and I wouldn't be amassing a heavy loan.
But then by attending it means I can skip most roles I don't have an interest in doing, and go straight into specialising, and it means I've met the requirement of having a degree, so I won't need to sit around doing a PT uni course, or distance learning (OU)
