If I fail uni first year and leave, will future unis reject me because of thi?

Don’t drop out because you THINK you’re going to fail.
Do the work and submit SOMETHING and finish the year.

If you drop out now then you’ll have to repay the majority of your 3rd maintenance payment asap. If you submit your work and complete the year then you’ll be able to keep the money you have been paid already. Completing the year will make it easier for you to start saving some money.

Thanks, but I literally hate my course tbh. And I haven’t applied for student finance for 3rd year yet…I was also of course going to submit something for each module because it is way worse to submit nothing. I’m just really stuck atm- I considered changing courses at my uni but idk that that’s really for me

Going back to the original question, yes, another uni might be concerned about your performance.

Most likely to be the case if you apply for the same subject. For a different subject it’s common for people to underperform and they are less likely to care.

Thank you, do you think saying a year out helped me think/ reconsider what I want to do in the future

100%. i stayed in uni for 3 weeks (near pathetic amount i know) but knew as soon as i sat down in the first lecture that i had picked the wrong course at the wrong uni. dropping out was genuinely the best decision i made for myself, and it's normal to be scared or anxious about it as it's such a big step but to stick to something you aren't enjoying and waste both money and time is even worse. im not sure if you are, but i applied to a different course and got offers from better ranking universities so it didn't impact me but i can see why if you're applying for the same course unis might be a bit wearier

Thank you, a lot of people have said it’s better to change if you’re unhappy. I’ll really miss the people and friends I’ve made here and like the city but at the end of the day I’m here for a degree and my future. Another friend left her course because she didn’t find she was learning anything, the same reason as me, I’ll be looking at different courses however as I don’t think my course at any uni would be for me.

yeah it is really hard leaving especially if you're not 100% sure where you go from there. however, you will have a lot of time to research different options, which paradoxically enough is much more exciting and thorough when its done in your own free time when you have time to think clearly instead of skimming through unis like a catalogue when you're rushing to get your personal statement done, as well as mocks, a-levels etc in college, so i think whatever choice you make next will most likely feel a lot more solid and concrete. if you dont mind me asking, what are you currently studying and what are you thinking of switching to?

Yeah I agree, I feel I need time and space to decide. Currently studying animation looking at studying model making/ photography at the moment. Tbh I liked stop motion animation the most and didn’t realise unis don’t teach much about it, especially my current uni, I was overwhelmed by getting a place at a prestigious uni rather than the course.
