A very sticky situation with my degree
The way it goes is I jumped straight from school into an English degree at my local polytechnic university (commuting) and quit by January, because i felt like i wasnt living the uni experience at all. This was all die to pressure of doing the ‘right’ thing academically at the ‘right time/age (18), i was also still in recovery from a restrictive ED, so my desicion making and knowledge on these things wasn’t ideal at the time. I then reapplied and went to a much further University for Biology the year straight after, where i feel like i did in fact experience some of the ‘uni experience’, but i eventually left because i was desperate to go back to my very original plan and study Fine Art. So in short, I changed to start Fine Art the year after, which i am not in the 1st year of again, (commuting to save money), and i cannot get the funding for 1st year like i thought i would (due to being having restrictive ED previously), so my choice is to leave or have family members help me pay the 1 year (they would consider it as they are great and quite okay for money). It’s really upsetting for me because i was just not in the headspace that i should’ve been at the time, was always a hard worker and got good grades so i feel my potential is down the drain and i could’ve had the ideal uni experience and graduated with a good degree. I do in fact enjoy studying art and wish i had gone with that from the start (my original plan), but at the same time i have no friends on the course, the people at this particular art school are somewhat immature, obnoxious and i frequently get a rude vibe or bad looks for no reason (never experienced this in school, elsewhere etc) and i don’t particularly enjoy being there, so i can see why just leaving to save the money would be an option, but at the same time i would like to have a degree, and if i am correct, all degrees are beneficial for job searching? If anyone had info or advice on this please let me know. I also plan to potentially move to the country where i am half from, where cost of living is much lower and i still believe i’d have to pay back my student loans there? If i am not going to be living in this country is there any point getting a degree at all? (But still undecided on the moving abroad part).

If you can provide evidence that you left any of your previous courses due to compelling personal reasons (doctors letter or similar letter from any professional explaining the situation and its impact on your studies) then SFE will ignore that year and fund your first year on your current course.
