Hi everyone,

I'm in my first semester of aerospace engineering and I am seriously considering quitting. When people ask me if I love it so far, I always hesitate. It's not that I hate it, it feels more like I'm doing it because I have to. I'm not excited to go to school per se and I'm not super hooked on thermodynamics or statics for instance.

It's also not that I'm doing bad, I'm doing fine so far. However, I am afraid of staying in the program and becoming trapped into doing something I am not passionate about. I have always dreamed of working for big agencies like NASA, but it's hitting me that this probably won't be my reality. I guess engineering feels very different from what I thought it would be. At the same time, I am afraid of dropping out to pursue another career and then regretting.

Everyone sees me as someone who is passionate about space exploration (which truly fascinates me) but I don't know if the engineering job itself is for me and it feels like I don't know who I really am anymore or what I want to do.

I guess what I want to ask is if you guys knew you liked what you were doing as early as the first semester or not. And, if anyone has been a similar situation, what did you do and did you end up regretting your decision?

I’m currently predicted A*AB and am stuck between picking a prestigious university but doing something like sociology or history (subjects which I do love) which wouldn’t be as sustainable degree wise. Or I could do something more sustainable like law but at a lower end university as you’d need better grades for the more prestigious ones. What would your first instinct be?

Please I'm begging yall to fill this form up so that I, a poor college student who needs an A in this godforsaken subject, can study if students tend to spend more using UPI or Cash. Its completely anonymous. ISTG I AM NOT MARK ZUCKERBERG TRYNA STEAL YOUR DATA.

Sono una ragazza di 25 anni e vivo a Berlino. Da un’annetto mi sono appassionata alla grafica e ho lavorato (e continuo a farlo) sul mio portfolio, eppure vorrei comunque studiare una materia che mi renda più flessibile tra la pratica e la teoria; eventualmente non escludo altri sbocchi lavorativi se necessario. Pensavo di iscrivermi in Uninettuno perché mi permette di seguire le lezioni e dare gli esami qui all’Estero. Ma la domanda che mi faccio è: Devo preoccuparmi del fatto di iniziare una facoltà a quest’età? Mi consola sapere almeno che qui in Germania la cultura del lavoro è ben diversa da quella Italiana, ci sono tante possibilità e le aziende sono felici di offrirtele, eppure ho un po’ paura di laurearmi e magari specializzarmi in qualcosa e poi avere 30 anni e trovarmi punto a capo.
Grazie a chiunque spenda 2 minuti per rispondermi <3

Hello everyone

Anyone here got admitted in master's at University of cassino and Southern Lazio?

Hey! I’m looking for current UNLV freshmen to answer a quick nine-question survey about choosing classes and planning their workload. It's for a project, but I'm also just curious if anyone shares my problems. Appreciate anyone who can help!

https://forms.gle/NnKM9VNzQ9XrCzMz9

So, hello, I'm a first year engineering students, and one thing I quickly learned, even before learning any content, was to trust if my university's website will be working today or not, so my university puts all their resources on their website, and expects us to do their assignments, except, that website is having errors, technical issues or busy servers half the time. One time I woke up at 5am to do an assignment due that day, and then the website was having errors and busy servers, I was getting very stressed, worried and upset because it is entirely not my fault that their website is having issues, and it's not the first time this has happened, it has happened a lot on multiple instances, so universities love putting flashy banners saying they have online resources and modern equipment, but should put more focus on making sure those resources and equipment stay usable.

I wanted to ask for advice about something I’ve been struggling with as an international university student. I find it really difficult to balance my social life, my finances, and my studies.
When I focus too much on studying, I feel like I’m missing out on life. My friends keep going out, making memories, and meeting new people, while I stay home studying. I get FOMO, and I worry that I’m missing opportunities to make new friends and enjoy my university years.
But when I choose to go out and socialise, I feel guilty because I know I should be studying. I see my classmates succeeding academically, and I start comparing myself to them. I feel stupid when I struggle, and I’m scared of failing my exams.
On top of that, I have to be careful with my spending because I’m an international student living on a limited budget. Going out costs money, so even when I want to socialise, I have to think about whether I can afford it.
It feels like whatever I choose, I’m sacrificing something else. Either I focus on my studies and feel lonely and left out, or I enjoy my social life and feel anxious about my grades and my future.
I don’t want to spend my university years constantly stressed, feeling guilty, or comparing myself to other people. I want to find a healthier balance, but I don’t know how to do that without feeling like I’m falling behind in one area of my life. How can I manage these competing priorities without feeling guilty or inadequate all the time?

Your help is kindly appreciated, I need a sample size of at least 30 people.

As the title suggests that is how i´m feeling. I am a second year undergrad student in political science. And honestly I have never felt so demotivated in my entire life.

This semester I am taking 3 classes, 2 of them I mandatory (one that everyone has which is mandatory and the other was something I chose since I needed to have 30 creds in total so 15 on that one and other on that, while the last one is 7,5 so im taking 7,5 more than I need to, but that one is something I enjoy and it only has a term assignment to write).

The class that I chose with the 15 creds is actually a masters degree one, or at least higher level, so in this class we need to have 4 presentations which btw none of them are graded, and a final assignment which is 6000-8000 words long. And since I have only done assignments before between 2000-4000 words it feels like it's impossible to even write. I have already tried 2 topics: finding literature, data, etc but none of them have worked since it's either impossible to find enough evidence, literature and a gap. The problem with that is that I need to present a term paper outline as my last presentation, and since none of the topics I have wanted to write worked it feels dreadful and I am very lost - to the point where I have cried every night. Also the professor does not even like me as well, because she has been directly rude towards me. So tomorrow I have a meeting with her but I´m kind of dreading it, since I don't know what she will say or do.

Only because of this class I feel so drained and lost, where I just don´t even feel happy to go to uni at all, I also don't have any friends so that also adds to the pot.

Does anyone here have tips on how to cope with all of this mess before it eventually takes over me completely, thank you beforehand <3

I’m a Nigerian developer building UniArchive, a project that started from a problem many university students know: past questions, lecture notes and textbooks are scattered across WhatsApp groups, phone storage and random PDFs.

The idea is to organise these materials by university, faculty, department, level and course, so students can actually find what they need.

Here’s what’s working so far:

• A free academic library that people can browse without creating an account.
• A mobile-friendly PDF reader with highlights, notes, bookmarks and offline saving.
• An Android app for reading PDFs offline and sharing documents directly from other apps.
• A way for students to help identify and verify uploaded materials.
• A collection of open-access textbooks and research papers linked from external sources.

The archive is still growing, and coverage varies by school and course. I’m building this incrementally rather than pretending every university is already covered.

I’d appreciate feedback from other developers and makers:

If you landed on UniArchive for the first time, what would confuse you or stop you from using it?

I built it, so I’m naturally biased. Honest criticism is welcome.

Hi! I’m an adult returner hoping to study Chemistry and Maths after being out of education for a long time. I’m looking for a current university student or graduate who could mentor me and help me rebuild my knowledge from the basics.
Ideally, I’d love someone willing to have regular video calls or meet face-to-face in Glasgow to explain topics and guide me through the subjects. I’m motivated to learn and would really appreciate any support or advice. Thank you! 😊
