wanting to change course at uni!! any advice please??

I think it is usually hard to tranfer to another course without starting from year 1, because the course content may not be similar, unless you are studying something like mathematics and would like to change to statistics, which the credits you take at year 1 are sort of similar. In your case, I would suggest you to see if any university near your home have other course which have a similar course in year 1, if there is, u may try to apply it, if no, then I think you need to start from year 1 if u really want to change to other course.
As for friends, I saw that you said you hated it, can you tell me why? I think making friends are quite easy if you are willing to join club and society that you like, coz it will be easier to find someone who have the same interest with you. So did you do anything which makes you into this situation?

Hi there, I'm so sorry to hear that you've been having such a tough time at university As the anon above said, I would also suggest that you look at a university closer to home if that's what you feel is right for you! I studied for almost 5 years at university myself and have honestly only just recently decided what I want to do for a career so it's okay if you haven't quite figured it out yet☺️ there are so many opportunities at university that you might not even know were out there, so I'd definitely recommend sticking it out if you can, but I also personally would say to just go for it with the course you actually want to do! You might not think that there are as many prospects for a creative arts degree but that really isn't the case! Graphic design, film, media etc are all increasingly more important and in demand as we globalise and move towards technology so I honestly think you'll be fine❤️

I personally came to uni because I loved the subject I was studying, and when you're paying over £9000 a year for 3 years minimum, enjoyment of the course is so important!

I can't tell you whether you would love the new uni or not, that will always be an uncertainty until you go, but the certainty is that you hate your current situation so I guess something should change! Try speak to current students at a particular university (I did study at keele an absolutely LOVE it) and I'm sure others from whichever university you consider next will give you their honest opinion❤️

Good luck with everything, I hope you find your path soon but try not to stress too much and just do your research and know that every university is different, and so then will the experience be! ☺️

That kind of makes me feel better that you studied for quite a while until you found what you wanted to do because i feel like there is a lot of pressure to know what you want to do from such a young age and it's hard! I might just stick it out, but switch to like linguistics because i dont particularly want to do the year abroad but its compulsory so thank you for the advice!!! I'm still torn between transferring to a creative course because I feel like i'd enjoy it a lot more rather than learning about morphemes and suffixes 😅😅 and that makes me feel a lot better! I guess i'm just uncertain about starting again because that's an extra year in university AND an extra year of debt that i didnt feel to comfortable with having 😅 although my sister in uni has told me not to worry about it at all 😅😅
Weirdly enough i was looking at keele as that uni is a lot closer to home from where i'm at so it makes me relieved that you really enjoyed studying there! and thank you for all the advice!!

Again thank you!! you've been a great help and i'm sure i'll figure out what i want soon!!! think i just need to clear my head and contact uni's and see whats available! Thank you very much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Gem xx ❤️
