Thanks for the quick response. I suppose it's fairly common for a small percentage to leave in the first year of uni so in theory there would be space in the 2nd year.
I also remember someone had failed their second year and was resitting it in my second year so they must have made space for that student and have a certain degree of tolerance?
A few tutors were aware of my ill health but I fear leaving like i did has 'burned bridges' ?
