How do I get the most fulfillment from my time at UC?

Ask this due to a monthly downturn in my mental wellbeing. Nothing too serious, but related to a lack of belonging on campus. I feel at the age of 24, as if I'm too old for the drinking party scene, but too casual and disinterested to really strive hard academically. I feel as if I've wasted my time at UC, by not attending for a mixture of personal mental health reasons and many realisations that I'm not what people want to be around or engage with. As such traveling 10km to and from campus seems disheartning and a waste of energy.

It's the end of my second year, now and I have virtually no connections and seem socially mismatched in practically every scenario. It feels as if I enrolled just for a fancy piece of paper and as much as the social elements of the place are praised, I've yet to experience much if any of that potential.

On top of that I have just failed PSYC206 and still haven't had any success at finding a partner. Whilst, I didn't expect UC to solve all my problems, it was disappointing when I tried counseling to leave feeling mocked and ignored. On top of that student care has nothing to assist me. The BA in Politics/PSYC that I've started hasn't really been challenging or that engaging to be honest and everytime I visit campus I leave feeling more isolated and mentally exhausted for even trying to fit in.

Genuinely what is the point of me attending campus at this point?.

UC Regrets

Hey there guys! I’m not sure if the title conveys the message properly but I’ll just write down a little summary. This is mainly on behalf of a friend who is conflicted between universities (uc or UoA).

Currently comparing both UC and UOA and I was wondering if anyone had any regrets about going to UC over UOA as there isn’t many posts at all about this side? It would be super helpful to know why you regretted it as well as if it was just stuff to get used too or other things. A main problem is not having people going down with them since loads of us are staying where we live.

Thank you!

Elective recommendations

Hey guys,

Any recommendations for first year engineering electives? Should I go for something that’s easy and interesting? Or something that would at least help me on the second year of engineering even if it’s hard. I intend to specialise on Civil or Chemical.

Currently, I have PHYS102 as an elective but I feel like it’s gonna be too much physics for me in the second semester. The courses I am taking in the second semester are: EMTH119, ENGR102, CHEM111.

Any thoughts or experiences on PROD131, DATA101, STAT101 or MATH120? I was choosing between these four.

Thank you!

Should I pick COSC122 or MATH120 for Semester 2?

Hi I'm doing first engineering and wanted to swap a class to keep my second option (electrical) open. I want to pick the easiest course or get some description on both courses so I can pick something that won't mess up my GPA. Would appreciate any past experiences on these courses!
