Are there any university students on these forums? I'm personally a first-year undergrad studying English Literature

First year Geography student here. How are you finding it so far?

Stressful, to be honest. My accommodation is the furthest away from the uni and I have to get the Metro line into the city centre, so every time I have a deadline I'm always worried I'll be late and have my marks capped at 40%. So far, I've handed all but two essays in late but managed to convince the lecturers that I deserved full consideration

Workload wise it doesn't seem too bad, but I'm lazy, so I always leave things until the last minute. I'm so bad for it.

That does sound stressful. At least the lecturers are fairly reasonable though.

I just finished a graduate program. I'm really happy it's done! I had to give up ACNL for a year to finish my thesis.

Sorry to hear that you live far away from campus. I commuted the first couple years as an undergrad student, and I didn't really feel like I belonged. I also leave things to the last minute. But sometimes I felt like that helped give me inspiration at the last minute.

Military right now. About to complete my associates. I'm going to be doing Political Science over at Arizona State University in the fall.

I'm in my first year studying Zoology. English Lit sounds intense!

Spent the Easter weekend wading through saltmarshes, getting battered by the strong winds and rain, conducting experiments and writing up reports.

^ Sounds quite interesting? Did you enjoy the weekend?

I've got so much work to do over the Easter Break; writing up reports, revising for an exam, and preparing for group work. Hopefully it should be ok.

Second year Business and Management.
Next year is placement year.

I'll be heading into pre-veterinary studies in 2 years.

"^ Sounds quite interesting? Did you enjoy the weekend?"

I did! I was feeling a bit lonely and unenthusiastic at first, after being dragged away from my family and free time to rainy Wales for a field trip, but then I made some friends and we had a good time identifying coastal species.

second year philosophy student here!!!

(going into third year in september, yikes)

this is so strange to me, i still don't feel "grown up" enough to be on the GG boards

Who here remembers the old UK schools & uni students threads from a few years ago? I definitely remember a few of you from there
I'm a first year chemical engineer

^ i do!! especially when TattyBoJangles was very active

Same. And now I'm not in school and almost finished uni. Depressing.

EDIT: 4th year languages student wooooo #exams #awfulatGerman #waaah

I have my A.A., and I'm picking back up with a B.S. in Information Technology this fall! Gotta take macroeconomics over the summer though.

I ended up despising the school I'm currently at (it has a 14% female population), and am transferring to a larger university.

Sophomore sociology student here. Unfortunately, my grades have slipped this semester. I'm thinking of changing my major to writing, since it's pretty much the only academic subject I seem to be good at

Finishing up my sophomore year and preparing to transfer colleges!

I was a med student when I started.  I thought for sure that I wanted to be a surgeon one day, and that I wanted to go to school out of state.

It took me 3 semesters to change my mind about both those things.  I'm now preparing to move back home to finish up college at the university there (it's superior in a lot of ways to the place I'm going now, and honestly I just wanna be home, man), I've got my first apartment all lined up, and I'm a pre-law student!

Just finished my first year as a chemical engineering major!

I think what's most interesting to me is that despite the number of replies in this thread, I don't think we've had any duplicate responses yet! I double majored in French & Linguistics in 2011 and I'm going back for a Masters in Architecture starting in July of this year. I'm super excited to be going back to school, but also just a little bit terrified.

Nearing the end of first year now and just starting to prepare for my final essays and work. It's really scary how fast it's gone.

i have one more exam & that's my second year of university over with...

it's scary how quickly time goes!

only two more years to go x_x

^You guys that aren't in your final year, ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN! D:

I've always worked hard at university, even in first year, and didn't really believe that the last year would be much worse. HOW WRONG I WAS!

Anyone who says modern language degrees are easy can happily swap with me, and do my ELEVEN exams (including a 48-hour French exam...) and 4,000 word essay (all in one month!) instead of whatever their course is.

Nice to see a few familiar faces on this thread. I'll probably be more recognised by my other username, TattyBoJangles (already been mentioned up thread somewhere).

I'm now halfway through my medical degree. Three years down, three years to go. Oh how I miss the simplicity of secondary school. I loved those old threads we used to have.. I wasted far too much time on here in my youth!

My summer has already started, and I won't be back at uni until September. You can tell I'm bored because this is my first ACC login in yonks.

Strange how tonight I decided to come on ACC after so many years (joined the site in 2005!!!) and this was the first thread that interested me.

About to be a third year elementary education student. While I love it (and love my students) lately I've been debating switching to either a speech language pathologist or something to do with therapy in a school setting. Summer started for me about 3 weeks ago, and I've been working like crazy since. Kids don't understand how hard adulthood is, lol.
