Your opinion of Uni?

If you're doing Engineering then yes; very hard, very stressful.

Does your future career benefit from or need a degree? Or does it benefit more from three+ years of actual job experience?

Currently doing my first year of A-Levels and my mum is already going on about going to Uni. I've always been quite anti-uni because I thought it sounded scary but i'm starting to consider it.

Is the workload hard and stressful? Is it a good experience? Is it worth going if you don't even know what you want to do career wise?

I have no idea what I would like to do as a future career. My mum just wants me to go for the experience. I get quite stressed with assignments though, i'm a bit of a perfectionist and always have to aim for the best, I can never have a laid back attitude when it comes to that sorta stuff. That's why I don't really know if it would be worth it as id imagine I would get stressed.

Honestly, what you should be considering is is it worth getting into so much debt? You'll owe £27,000 BEFORE any maintence loans, so if you're unsure about uni, don't let your mum push you into it unless she's going to pay off your debts for you

It's really difficult but you will be fine once you've done your a-levels you will know what to expect and what to do. The workload and the content and structure is a lot harder. You need to make sure what you want to do first before going to university, as it is your life and future. Make the right choices!

I wouldn't say the workload is hard and stressful. It is challenging but rightly so, you want to go somewhere where you are continuously being challenged and encouraged to reach your potential. It isn't always challenging either, first year was a breeze, second year there were a few challenges but third year has challenged me the most.

How would you compare A-Level's workload to university's? Because I'm doing really well with balancing my studies and i'm always one of the first to complete assignments and to an impressive standard (According to my teachers). Thank you for the advice!

it is worth doing even if you don't know what you want to do basically the pice of paper at the end feels so good.

What your doing at a level can serve as a good indication of wha to take as can any interests you may have for instance if you like sport and think coaching might be fun theres a course for that do you want to be a music producer theres is a course for that too.

There is a relatively large work load but not really much more than if you had a job it really shouldn't take you more than 35-40 hours a week including the stuff in class seminars etc.As you say you don't know your best options to go and look through a few prospectuses see what takes your fancy it is so worth going uni opens doors and you'll have a lot of fun doing it it is stressful but not as mochas you think.

The most scary part is when your parents leave for the first time from then on let the good times roll.

I've actually found it less work than A Level, especially in 1st and 2nd year (I do languages). I only do two essays a year and multiple writing and speaking assessments in the two languages I do. I find it so much more manageable than 6th form

First year was easier than alevels and I was getting 1st/2:1s easily. Second year probably still a bit easier if not equal but third year is significantly harder. Not extremely but it's more difficult than second year. In a way it's easier because you know what's expected of you so it's easier to get high grades (I've got straight As so far) but I find it harder as I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself. There's a lot to remember for my course and I'm having to research more than I have ever done. Third year is only harder for me due to the word count and having to produce more work.

I've never really had a problem with completing it, it's not impossible.
