about colleges

Am i a failure for possibly going to college over university in the UK? And will it affect any future careers

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean - college in the UK comes before university, and you can go to college and then go to university afterwards. Unless you mean something different? Are you taking about sixth form college, where you do your A-levels?

Oh really? Sorry I didn't realise Scotland has a different structure lol. In that case I wouldn't worry about it, once you go to university you'll have loads of background knowledge your fellow students won't :smile: And no it shouldn't affect future careers
