What if university does not feel exciting at first?
Yes, that can be okay. It may take time to adjust to university, understand your classes, build relationships, and find a way of spending your time that suits you. Try interesting classes, extracurricular activities, or opportunities to meet others gradually and without overexerting yourself. If low mood or difficulties continue, consider speaking with a faculty member or student support service.
Key points
- A disappointing first impression does not by itself mean that the university or your choice is wrong.
- You can gradually try classes, activities, and ways to meet people at a manageable pace.
- If difficulties persist, check what academic or personal support is available and seek advice early.
Things to check
- Available support services, activities, and course arrangements vary by university and faculty, so check the institution’s official information.
