Has anyone studied a Foundation Year at University? Computer Science at Exeter.

Despite poor GCSEs and limiting A-level options, I got into the Russel Group University I was hoping for (Exter) with A*AC.

However, less than a week from arrival I have recently come to regret my choice of Communications. I’m considering switching to Computer Science, but don’t have the Maths A-level required therefore may take a foundation year.

I’m stuck on if this is the right option for me and bla bla bla. Realistically an extra year of university would be worth the amount of money I’d be making when comparing Computer Science to Communications.

I’m wondering for those who took a foundation year, what was it like?

Do you regret the choice?

Would you recommend it?

Did anyone care you were doing a foundation year?

Is the university experience the same? I am very social and want to still experience uni despite the foundation year.

Thanks
