I wish I had the pre-fresher optimism. I seriously regret studying this course.

If you guys arn't 150% sure you want to do Psychology, don't do it. I thought I was.

Do you mind me asking why you regret it? Was it the course in general, or the uni or what?

It's the course generally. Quite dissatisfied with it. 90% of it seems to be rubbishy, common sense, inconclusive or just plain useless while the other 10% belongs to the discipline of Neuroscience, the stuff I actually like. I made the mistake of choosing Psych over Neuro when I came to my applications which was stupid of me.

Ah, I dunno.. Some people seem to love it. I just can't find anything to get my teeth sunk into. Not sciency enough for me; some of the stuff we study is just so plain bad that I'm actually embarrassed to be sat there in the lecture theatre. I have good and bad days.

Yeah I'm transferring to Holloway in hopes of finding a more neuroscience based course. Maybe it's because I'm in the first year, but it seems so far, the majority of the lectures are massively wooly, tiptoe around the subject and then make a massive leap of faith conclusion without really answering any of the questions. There are usually so many extraneous and confounding variables in the studies that it would make any normal researcher cry.

ah I also prefer the sound of the neuroscience stuff.
Im doing Psychology (with neuropsychology) which means i'll be doing more neuroscience based modules eventually.
and my insurance is Psychology and Neuroscience joint honours.
