I found that I got on far better with other people from another student society, as those on my course seemed to be constantly switching who/what their alliances were.

Overall, I hated it. The work was not the problem, that felt pretty simple to me and I did well in all my exams, even got a distinction at graduation. Every other facet of university life I couldn't stand though, I couldn't fit into any social group and had no idea what to do. I would spend nearly all my time alone, but I would actively avoid people, like I would sit in the corner table in the food hall as far away from everyone else as possible. I made one friend in second year which gave me just enough stability to not fall apart and look forward to something, but I didn't want to give up on my degree course since it factored into my career plans and it cost a lot of money for my parents so I would have hated looking like I was ungrateful.
