Here's a list of things that no one has told you about going to a small university, the perks and the ups and downs. Here we go!
University: First Year Survival
For many of us, starting university is both an exciting and overwhelming chapter in our lives. New friends, freedom, responsibility even maybe a whole new location. It's hard not to create an image in your mind of what you hope to achieve. When I first found out where I would be heading, I instantly Googled images of the city and watched videos of other students' past experiences. Needless to say, I had created some pretty high expectations. New start, new life, etc. This was made worse by the fact that I completely hated high school...

You’re in your early 20s, you’re at university studying something you thought you loved, something you thought would pave your way in life, so you would achieve something. Up to this point in your life, University was sold to you as the best time in your life, the most fun you’d ever have, meeting people you’d be friends with indefinitely whilst simultaneously broadening your horizons and becoming a fully formed and functional human being.
Mimi PegdenPublished 6 years ago in EducationShould I Go to University?
The word “university” can cloud judgment. University can mean so many things, and in this article we will step back to think more carefully about what university is.
Type MasterPublished 6 years ago in EducationGiving Students the Results They Deserve...
Failure is always possible, if you work hard enough to achieve it! I think we’ve all been there. Data has just be uploaded, the numbers have been crunched, and there’s a staff meeting about Year Eleven progress. The headmaster will make positive comments about how good it looks, and remind us that we should be planning interventions to make sure these figures become a reality. Then there’s always that statement, isn’t there?:
Sebastian PhillipsPublished 6 years ago in EducationUSS Strikes: Should students be demanding compensation?
We are two days into industrial action across 57 universities across the UK, with four more joining on Monday, and a further three scheduled to join from the March 5th. All of these universities have almost unanimously voted for strike action (88 percent average), and the four that are not striking are not doing so due to failing to meet the 50 percent voter turnout (narrowly too— 46 to 48.8 percent).
Alex RalphsPublished 6 years ago in EducationFinishing College
So today I finished college. It’s a weird sensation. Miles different to the feeling of finishing at my secondary school, or the one (and only) year of A-Level I did. With those situations, there were loads of people celebrating the exact same event. All basking in the short-lived freedom they earned. Shedding tears, saying goodbyes and congratulating fellow students. Not the same here.
Profrauder of Film
I am a college student, and I am in a film class. I have to have some type of class from some category that includes film for my degree. Everyone has it. I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for requiring a class that has nothing to do with most fields, but that's not what I'm angry about right at this moment.

Is there a right or wrong way to educate? Do we educate for our learners or do we educate in a way that we feel is best for us?
Lisa PiercyPublished 6 years ago in EducationIs This the Right College for You? Look to Your Professors!
I had wanted my bachelor's degree for as long as I could remember. Facing some hardship and finally growing up when I was my in late twenties made me realize that this HAD to be my primary focus. Not on bad relationships, not on my anxiety disorder, not the little insignificant things revolving around me, college and graduating had to be my number one. I was not going to spend my life wondering what if I had gotten the degree, and most importantly, regretting that I had not. After a decade of turmoil I was ready to go back once and for all! After having a miserable time at my first college and making a choice in a poor relationship instead of improving my academics, I took a break. Little did I know that break would last 10 years. But it was through this journey that I made a discovery. Not only should I be focused on what I was good at and the pace I could go, but also who was teaching me.
Jennifer KaspinPublished 6 years ago in EducationThe Life of Me (Joshua Kyle Jackson)
One of the greatest things about being alive today is I can be able to do the one thing my mother has never done: go to college. I am still learning the ropes of life as a 20-year-old guy in college, but I believe I will be alright at the end of the day. People always say "The Lord will make a way," and I am quite sure of that.
