Advice for a failing masters student! :(
Hello,
Today I received 3 of the 5 results for the first semester of my Masters... I failed all 3. I don't even know how it happened and I didn't actually think the exams went THAT badly! Clearly I was wrong about that!
Anyway, the next semester is going to be even harder and I don't know if I'm out of my depth! On the other hand, I've taken out a £10,000 bank loan to pay for this course (it's horrendously expensive, I know!) and the thought of borrowing all that money just to drop out seems pointless!
I'm still waiting on 2 results (and I'm now panicking that I've failed those too!)
I guess I just want to speak to someone who's in the same boat/ has been here before?
I'm more upset about letting my parents and boyfriend down, although the realisation that I have to start paying that loan back at the end of 2nd semester is pretty scary too!!

Sorry about your exams, I'm only a first year so idk what to do about that...just try harder for next time I guess, you've made it this far so you're definitely capable 
But the thing that really caught my eye was that £10,000 commercial loan! Jesus, what madness motivated you to do that...? You borrowed it for the course? Do you know of the Student loan company?....

Thanks for your reply!!
I should have been more clear, it is a Career Development Loan from Barclays, so it's interest free until the end of the course, but still a lot to pay back. It will end up being £210/ month for 5 years... That's why I now feel like this masters was a terrible idea!

Just to clarify you can not get funding from the student loans company for masters, hence why you have to find other solutions.

Simple advice, see your tutors/lecturers, forget about grade only care about getting the pass. It is a lot of money you have given the uni to just give up on.
