If there isn’t a spark after two years of attending university, there might be a problem. The first year can be full of ups and downs, but, generally, your university course should make you feel excited. It should be a subject you enjoy and actually have passion for.
But if you’ve made a decision based solely on someone else’s advice, then rethink your options. No one knows you better than you do yourself. So, if you want to make a good decision, listen to your instinct and go with the flow.
It should be a subject you enjoy and actually have passion for. Passion is the thing that keeps students motivated. It’s what makes them push harder and not give up. If you don’t have passion and you’re mostly bored during your classes, think twice whether the course is your thing.
Not turning up to lectures. Either you’re skipping lectures, or you just turn up physically. You don’t actually take in anything that the lecturer says, let alone actually learn anything. Instead, the words that come out of the professor’s mouth blur together and don’t register in your brain.
And if you don’t have either of those things, then you’re not doing it right. In the end, you don’t have to attend university right after you graduate from secondary school. Many young people are unsure of what they want to study.
You shouldn’t be feeling burnt out in your first few months of studies. That’s a sign of something going wrong. Generally, university shouldn’t be a stressful experience if you’ve chosen the right course. Your passion and motivation are the things that keep you going.
The prerequisites for a course are listed in the course description in the Academic Calendar. You can click on the prerequisite course (s) to see a short description of what topics were covered, and you should make sure that you have previously covered similar material in your courses at your home university.

The Centre for International Programs and the University of Guelph are not responsible for academic problems that exchange students may encounter because they did not have the appropriate prerequisites for a course.
Courses that Require Approval. Some courses require the approval of a U of Guelph Program Counsellor and/or the course instructor before the Centre for International Programs can register exchange students for the courses.

If you like your university but not your course, this is the path of least resistance when it comes to fixing the problem of having chosen the wrong degree. Universities are not usually delighted about letting students transfer between courses, but they’ll usually do it in preference to you dropping out (it’s those precious statistics again).
The most obvious one is that if it turns out it really is the university that you’re not happy with, you can look into transferring to a different university.
While it’s true that conversion courses for things like Law and Medicine are competitive, if you start working on that application now, you’ll increase your chances of success. So whatever stage you’re at, if you’ve realised you chose the wrong degree, there are still so many options out there for you. Good luck!
Universities don’t want their students to drop out (aside from anything else, it looks bad on their statistics), and there should be a support structure in place to help you. You might already have been assigned a personal tutor who is your go-to person if you have any problems – email them as soon as possible.
The move from school to university is a significant change that can be upsetting to anyone’s mental health. If you’re feeling rubbish but can’t put your finger on a particular cause, it might be a mental health problem that you should see your doctor about, rather than anything based on your academic experiences. 3.
Universities will usually favour a transfer over the student leaving entirely. One thing to bear in mind is the relative competitiveness of the course that you’re moving from and to; if you’re going from Law to an undersubscribed foreign language, you might find that they way is smoother than vice versa.
When I started Year 10, I decided that I wanted to get into Engineering after finishing school.
My transition was fairly smooth actually. Coming out of the HSC, I knew what I wanted to do at uni, and once I got my ATAR and had guaranteed entry for my course it was straightforward enough to enrol.
I was studying Mechanical Engineering, but I felt like it wasn’t the best fit for me . There was a period in my second year where I had a bunch of work that I had to do… but I didn’t want to do any of it.
I came across a video about the UNSW Data Science degree on YouTube. So when I started investigating options other than Engineering, I looked further into the degree. The degree appealed to me as a maths based degree that had real-world applications and quite varied and interesting courses of study.
University has such a wide range of options, and other post-high school opportunities present an even greater range, so it is, of course, really difficult to find what is right for you first try. There is flexibility to change what you’re studying if you don’t enjoy it, so don’t feel like you are stuck with what you choose right now!
