dropping out?

How about course transfer else where? Usually depending on the course content/modules you could transfer to 2nd year easy

I've been there, although I just hated my course and that's why I dropped out. I wished I had stayed and grinded it out because going back to Uni later in life is usually a lot harder. What makes you think there wont be any people you cant stand at any place you work in the future or have to live with if you flatshare?

This world is full of *******, the sooner you learn to deal with that the better. Come xmas time you're half way through your degree and before you know it you'll be finished. Then is the time to have a think about what you want to do. As hard as it feels right now I'd really finish your degree. You can always do a masters in something you prefer after and use that to go in a different direction.

I hear that and agree, its just that id rather be paid to put up with ***** in a job and don't see why im paying 3 grand a year just to be put with *****.

Here's the thing. You're allowed one false start and it's really important that you don't do any more than this otherwise if you decide you want to go back to university, depending on how many years you did before, you will have to pay up to £9k per year without a tuition fee loan to cover it.

What you decide now is really important. If you think you can grind your way through to a 2:1 then go for it. If not leave now and don't go back to university, if you want to go back, until you're certain of what you want to do.

The worst thing you can do is to drop out in 2nd or 3rd year (this is what I did)

Why don't you look at going to Uni as a job?

I'm in the same situation as OP but I'm in my third year. I'm going to take your advice cos' right now the only thing keeping me at uni is the money to keep on doing what I really want to do outside the course. My course lecturers are completely clueless. I've been considering dropping out too and would have if my enrolment didn't get sorted on time.

hi all, I'm debating if its even worth bothering to go back to uni and would like to hear some opinions. I'm going into my second year at Surrey and personally speaking I hate the uni with a passion. My first year was terrible, I got stuck with a bunch of anti-social hipsters in halls and lost all motivation to bother with uni life and just went home every weekend. My course isn't any better, full of ***** who wont give you the time of day. Now its coming close to returning and I find myself resenting more and more of the idea of going into lectures and putting on a facade in front of people I don't respect. Fortunately I'd be commuting but I don't see myself having motivation for that idea much longer. I'd be happy with just a shelf-stacking job at the end of my degree just to keep my sanity. any advice/opinions would be much appreciated.

What course are you taking. I am planning to apply for next year!

Change uni or change your course within the same uni (a lot easier) and do it sooner than later. If you dont like the course you need to change. Dont let it put you off other uni's.

I know its easier to just drop out entirely or to change nothing and continue but either one of those options are not really what you want. You took that course for a reason, its just that you now need to apply what you have learnt and make a change. I would say this is actually quite common. Many of the people I knew on the first year disapeared on the second because it was most likely not for them. That being said you might like the second year better as you will have different lecturers that know they are teaching people that are totally new to the course.
