I have no friends, I hate lectures, I only have 8 hours a week and it’s so expensive for that. I have no motivation to revise because I’m going to fail the exams anyway because everyone else just seems to ‘get’ it and I don’t so I feel like an idiot. Of course it would be great to have a degree but I don’t have any major ambitions for life so I don’t think I’ll really need one, loads of people are successsful anyway without going to uni. Everything about uni makes me ridiculously anxious, I can’t remember the last time I was relaxed, even when I was at home. I just hate it so so so so much and I really really want to drop out but I don’t want to regret it later in life…

I have no motivation whatsoever to do the required work for my course. There, of course, is no support, and I don’t have the motivation to drop out or change courses.
Going to uni this year was a mistake.

Complete waste of time. Graduated in 1992 (!) and then went back for Masters and wound up in same call center working for managers with High School diplomas only. Don’t go to uni in Canada. : (

Hate uni. Loved my subject during A levels but uni is unbelievably boring.
I have no friends at all, don’t know anyone in my course. Some teachers are good others horrible but the seminar teachers are flipping phd students that barely speak English.and that’s all of them! I can’t learn anything! And the lectures are so utterly boring I find myself falling asleep. Seriously if I sleep less than 8hours I will sleep through my lecture, I can’t keep awake. In school it didn’t matter if I even slept, there was reason to stay awake, I didn’t want to fall asleep.
I am now struggling in my course. I have hardly learned anything. I have tests coming up, I am trying to study but it just depress and stresses me so much that I can’t cope or concentrate. I’m really tired of uni life. I don’t know if I made a mistake with my course, my uni choice, or going to uni at all. All I can tell you is that I hate it.

University is full of two faced naccicistic bullies who operate by using other people to their advantage. Avoid university if you can.

It’s great that the actual owner of this site passes this website on to new graduates, and may this site go on and on in the future, even after your graduation.

Well, I agree with most of the problems here. I am doing a Business top-up degree next year (British), and currently doing a two-years diploma. However, it seems like most of the people here are engineering majors, so I guess i got to be thankful that it isn’t as tough for me. (This is my short intro about myself)

I’ve been thinking through about this matter within the last couple of weeks (it’s my vacation), it looks like the main problem is that university feels so pointless, because most of what I learn is barely applicable in real life.

Changing majors is not an option either. I am not a very talented or intelligent person so computing, arts and engineering will not be my choice.

I was a social pariah in high school (we call it secondary here), and now, it appears that I am no longer one. People appear to be more open to me, but in fact, I still feel rather lonely.

However, it is more of the waste of time in school and the fact that my university building feels too uncomfortable that drives me up the wall. There is no way to focus in a library that is noisier than the cafeteria.

On top of that, my “friends” never cooperate during group work and ruin the presentation all the time. (I can really relate to ‘HELP ME I HATE UNI’s’ comment about finishing up people’s work while they laze away, I have some experience similar to his. Plus it looks like he has a problem with the librarian too!)

Of course, the commuting+dining+library and misc fines don’t come cheap too. I feel sorry for those who are studying with the help of a loan.

Well, I am getting long-winded. All the best to you!

I went to university completely sold on the ‘Best 3 Years of your Life’ mantra, but I was utterly miserable. I didn’t connect with anyone in halls, I’d chosen the wrong course and rushed into it and lost interest almost from day one, the girls on my course were cliquey and stand offish. I hated the city, a guy got into our halls waving a gun around in the first term, I didn’t feel safe. I scraped a pass in my first year and went into second, lasted about 2 months, then finally had to admit to myself I was done. It was terrifying, but I dropped out and moved to a completely new city as I didn’t want to take a step back and go home. It was the best decision I ever made. I’ve gone back to college to do what I always wanted to do, made some amazing friends, and haven’t ever looked back. The only bad thing is I have mounted up lots of debt and don’t even have a degree to show for it. It seems like it could be the end of the world if you drop out, and I was lost and scared and convinced my life was over for a while, but things got so much better. I just want to be happy. If something makes you unhappy, stop.

Hello. As far as I know the author of this site graduated from university long time ago and rarely comes here, but he gave me permission to moderate it. I’m in my third year in university, but I’m sorry for listening to my parents and going there. The education system here is awful, the professors don’t care about you at all, I also have difficulties socializing, but it’s not only my fault, because people in my university seem to be fake. I just wish I started doing something else after finishing high school. This is my story in short. If you have any other questions about me or the site, you can always turn to me.
