Is one difficult year enough reason to reconsider my university choice?

One difficult year alone does not necessarily mean you should reconsider your university choice immediately. Separate possible causes—such as academic difficulty, living circumstances, health, finances, or relationships—and consider whether they can improve or whether there is an ongoing mismatch with the university or faculty. If the mismatch persists, consult the university and people you trust, and compare continuing, changing faculty or university, taking leave, or changing plans.
