I've currently just started an undergraduate degree in psychology. I'm not enjoying the social side and feel the course is dumbed down a bit? maybe because I'm a mature student I just feel a bit patronised. I dislike the group work/presentations and research projects we do on my course. I was hoping from my access course I'd feel excited to learn more and go to lectures. However I feel lectures are pretty pointless, they aren't informative and I feel like I'd get more out of learning if I just did most of the work alone.
I'm thinking of maybe leaving this university and halls and moving back home. The psychology degree starts on the 7th Feb 2016, it's so much cheaper too which is appealing. I'd work while doing the course though I don't know if its a great idea. It seems like a bit of a jump. I was wondering about the financial side aswell, can student finance help or do you have to pay directly through your own funds?
Thanks
