What happens if you pick the wrong course or university?
Of likely outcomes, the worst-case scenario of having picked the wrong course or university (or both) is that you end up needing to take a year out before returning to a different course or university next September, and the associated additional costs in fees and accommodation.
How do I know if I need to change fields?
Discuss what you’ve learned with your significant other. Talk to your family and friends. Find the clarity you need. If you’re going to change fields, you have to be humble. Accept that it’s okay to start over, no matter your previous accomplishments, no matter your age.
What to do if you’re not happy with your University?
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. In the UK, this will almost always mean taking a year out and reapplying, barring a very lucky quirk of term timing and spaces on your preferred course.
What should I do if I have any problems with tutoring?
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. Even if you don’t have a personal tutor, there will be pastoral support available, such as through your department or through your student union.
