What is University life like?

different for everyone, depending on personality and also what degree programme you enrol in. Some of the papers I have taken involved group work, but the vast majority of my assessments have been individual lab reports, scientific papers, internal and external exams. I have found the humanities papers I took were more likely to involve group work, but I did a science degree where everything was more individual. University life for me was quite lonely when I first started, and I was very homesick for most of the first year. It got a lot better though, once I started getting more involved with everything. I love it now, which is good since I think I will be studying/working at universities for a long time! I love the atmosphere, all the academics in my department are wonderful to be around, both to work with and to socialise with.
