Would you drop out of university after 1 year?
Trying to persuade our niece to stay at uni, any advice or stories for or against? She isn't happy with the course she is taking!
Answers:
I fail my first year at university this year, and I am not going to go back neither. So much for the help.
she can drop the course and sign up for another one. also college isn;t for everyone so don;t froce it
Then tell her to change her major, or try a different school. Just because of one bump in the road she's going to give up entirely?
advise her to change her course to somthing she likes
college isn't for everybody.maybe she needs to make the decision on her own
Can she transfer to another course?
Uni isn't for everybody, maybe it's not for her, and if she does drop out at least she won't end up with tens of thousands of pounds worth of debt.
personally, no. if she drops out of college after 1 yr, then she would waste her effort for that one year. if she is not happy about the courses she is taking, changes her major! a lot of people change major, and it is normal
Because of costs? There can be hundreds of students taking undergrad classes at the same time. Some students can't hack how impersonal that is. Better going to pre req classes in a J.C. and transferring over. Everyone has to take required classes at a University, perhaps she would be happier at a technical school.
i dropped out after a year, lack of funds, bored with the course, if i had been at a better uni, with friends, i might have stuck it ou, best way to stick things, is for her to find a uni, with afew m8's at, find a boyfriend, and settle down into a course, and a uni that she prefers.
i wish i could be a student. but i hate being taught.
Like they say, its not for everyone, i dont think its particularly great.
get her a receptionist temp job for a year.. if she likes it stuff uni.
Uni can suck, I changed course once, then added a minor to my second choice, before I was relatively happy with my course. I do think that once you have started it is worth getting through it, as if you leave you are likely to have a negative feeling hanging around in the back of your mind. On the other hand, if you finish you can totally leave it behind. I've never felt so light and happy as I did after I finished my final exam. Pure bliss.
Do not drop out, just change courses or enroll for only one or two if you can handle the load, but do not drop. You will regreate it latter.
The answer to this question depends on the individual involved more than anyone else. How old is your neice? If she is still young (18-21) and is extremely creative, curious or dedicated to a consuming endeavor, the conflict is clear. If she is frustrated and depressed, serious problems may be on the horizon for her if she does not change her situation. Even if she is adrift, if she is thoughtful and intelligent, dropping out at this early stage is not serious if she is prepared for the inevitable changes which she will see in her life. In any case, be careful about your advice to her. It could boomerang and become a vehicle for blaming you.
Why she isn't happy in the first place? she doesn't like actually the course then i would rather drop out than pursuing it because at the end you will be blame of forcing her into a career she doesn't like and before she waste a lot of money get a course that she really likes and can tackle it. My cousin was force by her mom to take Physical Terapist when she likes Commerce,she continued what her mom wanted but she failed one of her major subjects on her fourth year level and she needs to stop from college because that subject was to be offered again by next year ,instead of graduating that year, she needed to wait .When she finished that course she was failed in her board exam she cried and never took another board bec.she knows she really dont like it and can't tackle it. She end up nothing happened .
I was tempted to take ayear off after my freshman year because I wasn't crazy about the school I was at. I went back for my sophomore year, though, and midway through I transferred and haven't looked back since. Freshman year is a fluke and things usually get better after that. If they don't, there are always ways of fixing it besides dropping out of school entirely. Tell her that she can study abroad or so internships for credit.
Other than the classes she's taking, what's wrong? she can easily change her major. Perhaps she is over whelmed with going full-time and needs to take things a little slower.. or it sounds like maybe she's bored..? perhaps she'd enjoy going to a university that was out of state..? that's understandable. help her find a college she'd enjoy.
well u really can't force someone to do something they've no interest in.if she goes travelling she could still come back and take a course she's interested in. and she'll have it out of her system. she'll always want to travel why not now?
If she isn't happy there she isn't going to study well enough, better to try another different course; I did it and it did work perfect! Also I think that travel around the world to save it is a bright idea! Don't be so hard on her
I was miserable during my first year at uni, but stuck it out and love it now (just about to go into 3rd year).
Also, have just come back from a volunteer project researching whales and dolphins and looking at conservation and education, during my summer holidays - so she can always travel and save the world during the looong holidays!!
If she is not happy with the course she is taking, most universities will let you transfer on to a similar course and just carry on with the second year. She needs to talk to her head of department or personal tutor (if she has one), but go with some firm ideas of what she wants to do.
Good luck to her
Just let her know that whatever her decision is, you support her and love her. She'll make a better decision without feeling under pressure or like she's letting someone down. These choices seem big at the time but she can always change her mind: if she leaves and regrets it, she can reapply. If she stays and regrets it, she can always leave.
