Has anyone actually had the worst university experience?

I hate university too. My housemates, the course, the people, the city!!!
I'm considering dropping out but i'm scared incase I regret it and I don't know what else I'd do

Nah, I'm with you. I hate uni. Just posted a thread about it actually. I don't think it's all that common; most people love uni.

i dropped out and it was my best decision. but i don't know under which circumstances you want to drop out, what is the problem? I couldn't stand to think going through daily bitchy remarks for the next two and a half years and being so lonely with no one to even have a packet of crisps with. but now i know how uni works and stuff so I'm going in with a fresh mind and ill be starting fresh, ill be ahead of most people as I've already been at the uni before.

People actually get bullied in uni?
That's wierd. I thought that uni was supposed to be a good experience for everyone, sorry about that.

I was at university and dropped out. But I realised everyone around me there loved uni and made so many close friends and I didn't. I had the worst experience ever and went through too much at university which made me drop out. I will go back again this year so I was looking at threads of people who've had a really crappy experience. I couldn't find much.

I thought it would be a good idea to find people who I can relate to but it seems impossible.

University for me was a series of the worst possible scenarios I could come in. No friends, moving halls and ending up with really bad flatmates again for the second time, being bullied by course mates, not having anyone to go to or rely, spending the whole time in my room whilst other people had the time of their lives. If you don't understand how I feel than consider yourself blessed.

TYPO IN TITLE - HAD*

Same. I got ruthlessly bullied at school but at uni it's not even known as a concept!

I had a rubbish time at uni the first time I went. I did Law at Cardiff. I didn't get on with people particularly (found them a bit boring, annoying), found life too centred around getting drunk, found that my halls weren't that easy to be sociable in, and was bored by my course.

I dropped out, reapplied, went to do Politics, Philosophy and Economics at York. There I made loads of friends, found my halls very sociable, really enjoyed my course, found loads of interesting people to spend time with, did loads of extra-currics, etc.

I reckon a big chunk of it is down to luck. For me, a smaller uni with a stronger sense of community suited me, as did a uni environment slightly less focused on getting smashed. But I'm sure you can make a great time out of other types of environments, if those suit you better.

It's just trying to work out what kind of experience suits you - which isn't easy. Good luck!

I had a really horrible experience last year when I first went to uni, I really struggled with living out and taking care of myself, causing me to develop mental health issues. As a result, I had to drop out after the first semester, but ended up going back to uni this year, and am commuting this year instead. Still hasn't been amazing and I was expecting more, but I can't really complain.
