I did a Foundation Year at a Uni I will not name last year. It was horrible, and my grades reflected how terrible it actually was. I'm not putting the entirety of the blame on what happened, but almost all of it was. I narrowly failed by 8% ... I appealed but no one at the Uni has replied to my numerous emails.
From day 1 it seems I was majorly picked on - bullied you could say, and I have no idea why.
I got attacked (almost GBH) by my ex neighbour after a night out for no apparent reason. He claimed it was because I wouldn't leave his room, when in fact he never told me or the other 2 people in his to leave either. But even if it was true, that he did tell me leave, then why feel the urge to spray me with a lighter and deodorant can to the face?!
Of course all this little prick got from the Uni staff was a slap on the wrist - no warning, no nothing.
A couple weeks after the incident, I chose to move dorms. Hence begun the worst 8 months of my life.
I was completely isolated and depressed, not only because of what my ex neighbour did, but also because of the rest of the people in my dorm acted and the fact my ex dumped me too.
I scrapped through my autumn exams, but failed overall by 8% in my spring exams.
I blame the depression and isolation for my failure as I lacked concentration. I wasn't eating properly and I was suffering from insomnia because my sleeping pattern was horrendous.
As you can imagine, I don't want this to happen again. I want to get into a new Uni and start a new leaf.
What can I do?
Put the internet to work for you.
