Failed second year... should i just quit?
Hey guys, I'm really really distraught typing this and I need advice as I do not know how to move on from this.
I just got results from my second year final exams and i basically failed 3 core modules which I now have to resit. This wouldn't have been half as bad as it is now if I didn't fail 2 modules in my first year earlier which I had to resit (I still failed one module which I would carry over and retake in my third year)
I am really unsure of what to do as I would die knowing that so much money has been spent on my education (as an international student), and I graduate with anything less than a 2;1.
I just need to know if it is possible, realistically, to bounce back from this and do well in my third year. If i do these resits, my grades would be capped at 40% in those modules and I'll most likely end up with a 2;2 overall for my second year which is 30% out of 70% for my third year.
I'm just in a really bad space at the moment and I need all the advice I cant get.
(whatever negative thing anyone has to say, please spare me. I know no-one but myself is the reason for everything that is happening)

I guess that won't be terrible too, I just fear that I won't get a good job with a 2:2 😞
If you can afford it then chill and continue, Law is not difficult but what you have to do is prepare for the exams well in advance. So I don't mean 'follow the course', I mean prepare for the real exams - concise revision notes, cut out 80% of unnecessary information, learn the juicy stuff etc and do past papers like 3-4 months before the exam season.
I've known people who were resetting here in Oxford and in the end they did just fine, even STEM subjects.
