Perspective

Everyone will have a different experience at varsity, some good, some bad, some really great, while other a living nightmare.

My varsity experience was mid, I use the term “mid” very loosely. My social life was amazing, I kind of regret not exploring and expressing myself as much. My academic life was a hassle. I believe, maybe the faculty I choice just wasn’t excepting towards me, and many other students.
Some lecturers take pride and joy while others make sure to make it as difficult and stressful as they possibly can. When I found out the pass rate of my course was less than 7% in 4 years and only 10%in Masters, I was not surprised as to the way majority of the faculty members behaved.

My advice, research what you wanna study before you go all head in. Have a clear understanding of what and whom you’ll be dealing with.
Because of my experience I not only transferred but my siblings applied at different institutes and are enjoying lectures that take pride and joy in lecturing.
