The Student Room Group

Old timers -Returning university students

So we're back at uni for another year but I'm already looking forward to next summer and getting the whole thing over with. Most people are at uni for 3 years but many like myself end up being around for 4/5/6 years so it can be hard for us to keep motivated.

Things that are annoying me:

Group work ( It aint bad but we've done it plenty of times with the same old issues of the odd person or two not doing much work but you get on with it)

Friend going travelling during the summer and having to listen to the story over and over again

Losing friends who didn't remain on the course resulting = getting more annoyed with those fewer friends as you've spent so much time with them

Being given worse lecture rooms as we are now a smaller class

Feeling old when seeing new uni students.

Feeling of competition on who has already got a job/ work experience etc.



Things that are better

Timetable is way more relaxed

Seeing new students come into one of your lectures and then decide to leave 10mins into the lecture lol (never gets old)

Knowing when you can and cannot skip a lecture and what works best for you




Share your feeling/rants of coming back for third years and beyond and make me ( and you) feel better about coming back.
