[QUOTE="Someboady;79878972"]Long story short, got 4A*s at A-level. Failed my first year studying at Imperial and now ive lost faith in my abilities as a student.
I have the option to retake the entire year as a new student but I am terrified of failing again its been absolute hell.
I'm perfectly content with going to a less prestigious uni and getting a degree that doesnt have as high a risk of failure.
This has really been a really painful summer and I can't decide between retaking this year or just taking a gap and going to uni in 2019.
Any help is appreciated.[/QUOTE
What are you studying OP? I'd tend to go anywhere but Imperial - it doesn't have a great reputation for supporting students.
