Having trouble at university

11:04am Monday 12th December 2011 in Dear Massi By Massi

Dear Massi, I am really having a difficult time.

I am currently a student at a university and am not ok I am very ill and finding managing everything really hard.

I am always so tired and just finding it hard to study at the same time and its my final year so I don’t really want to fail.

Massi Says, I’m really sorry to hear that you are having a tough time but rest assured you are not alone and you will not be the first student at university to be struggling for one reason or another.

Your first port of call is to deal with your health issues so speak with your GP.

You will then need to speak with your course leader and there are also services at your student union where some counselling and other support services are available.

It is not in the university’s interest to have a student fail and in my experience they will do as much as they can to support you but you will need to raise it with them first. Don’t be afraid to do this as they will have dealt with a lot of students in your position.

Please don’t suffer in silence and do speak with someone; I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the response you get.
