Uni crisis!!!

Hello, I am a first year Pharmacy undergrad student in India. I am still in my first year. Im very new to indian education system and im falling very much behind. I had my final exam, and I am scared that I will get a back log for my 1 st sem subject. I have to go abroad to study masters and i am worried that i wont be eligible to apply. i just want someone to comfort me and give me advice on what i can do. Its not that much of a big of deal right? like i know i will perform really well in next sem and onwards.

Hi @Shrek_lord
Well done for reaching out! Huge Congratulations on securing a place to study abroad and going for it - that is really brave and exciting!
However, it can be really difficult to admit things like a year abroad aren't living up to your expectations, believe me, you won't be the only student to feel like this. Studying abroad is a fantastic opportunity, but not without its challenges for example getting to know a new country, learning the cultural differences, new rules, a new education system, not knowing anyone, and feeling homesick.
Can I ask if are you learning in your second language too? If so this adds in another obstacle as a degree can be tricky without adding in putting extra concentration to learn in a second or third language. Whether you are learning in your first language or not - you should be really proud of yourself for going to do this, it's a huge achievement!
My current housemates have moved to study in the UK in India and I am so impressed by how they are adjusting to living in Britain and learning their second language, but it hasn't been without its difficulties for them - they certainly miss home at times.
Do you have an academic mentor in India you could chat with about how you feel?
Is there student support available to you in the institution you're studying at? If so, it is worth speaking to them to see how they can help you. Additionally, it is worth chatting with your academic tutors and/or international opportunities university team back home, as they will want you to have the best time and make the most of your time abroad, so should be happy to help you.
I spent a month at a Global Summer School last summer and my International Opportunities team was really helpful and reassuring with my adjustment to living abroad (albeit for just a month).
Have you been able to make new friends on your course as perhaps you could organise studying together and help one another? You often find that other students are also struggling with aspects of the course when you hang out together, even if in class they seem to be excelling.
Have you looked at the criteria for entry onto your chosen master's course, it is worth exploring this to see what you might need to achieve to be eligible to apply. But if you know you will perform well next semester then maybe there's nothing to worry about there. You could get in touch with institutions you would like to study a master's at to see what else makes you an attractive master's student alongside your grades. I suspect they will be very impressed you already have experience studying abroad your proactiveness, independence, and confidence will already stand out from other students applying who don't have this string to their bow!
Best of luck with the rest of your studies and your master's applications.
