This may sound strange or even obvious to some, but before I came to University I didn’t know what to expect. It had been awhile since I had been in an educational environment, two years to be exact. The time I had been at school and college I had been in the very familiar surroundings of my home town with people I had grown up with, so obviously coming to a University and knowing no one after leaving college two years prior, was daunting to say the least. I wasn’t sure how easy id make friends or even how easy I would grasp the work and the deadlines it brought.
But as well as this anxiety, I was also very excited! Excited to see if university life as whole lived up to the experience it was suppose to be. Would the social experience really be as crazy as they say it is? I couldn’t wait to find out. But also I could not wait to start learning my new chosen subject, as its why I was going to university in the first place.
After being here just over a month, I can tell you university life is both everything and nothing like what I expected it to be. It’s very different from college as a lot more of the responsibility to learn is put upon the student, iv found this is both refreshing and slightly scary because if fail to be prepared I’ve got no one but myself to blame. Finding friends was a lot easier than I had first expected as after the first lesson (In which no teacher turned up) I had already began to make friends with Jonathan and then later Alex too. The university nightlife is again definitely what I was expecting and more so, although this being said I can’t say I’ve been out on campus as much as I was expecting. Jon on the other hand is probably more use to this side of University life than I am, that and trolleys but I’ll let him explain that one.
