Research into higher education has indicated that there is often a wide gap between students' expectations of university life and the reality.
Students often have inaccurate expectations about the workload, marks, assessment difficulty of their course content, the nature of their chosen programme, and the need for IT literacy.
Your expectations of university will have a huge impact on the success of your first year of study. Having the wrong expectations can make it difficult for you to adapt to the realities of uni life. You may be unaware of something that is really important to know. On the other hand, you might also be worrying, needlessly, about something that is not going to happen.
