Hi,
So i'm a first year computer science student and I have recently just started term 2. After having the 4 week break, i've had time to think about my course and how I actually feel about it.
I now have feelings of wanting to drop out before the end of this term, but i'm not too sure if I should or not. I do find coding and the maths hard, I had never coded before this course and the maths is nothing like A-Level maths, however I believe I will be able to get into second year and pass the exams. (40%)
The problem is here, I don't just want to get into second year and continue to struggle, i'm thinking maybe its time to leave and think about what degree I would be motivated to do and actively learn. I'm afraid of appearing as a failure and somewhat wasting 6 months worth of time and money to leave university with nothing.
Also, I wouldn't like to take a year out because I think leaving now would result in me not being able to get a place in a university by September.
