Daniel: Biggest difference between high school and uni and how to balance uni with other parts of your life

Generally I fit uni around other commitments, I’ve had quite a bit of freedom when setting my timetable so I’ve been able to keep days off and fit work in. , Also, the occasional (and inevitable) all-nighter for an assignment helps, too!

The biggest difference between high school and uni would have to be the fact that you’re not spoon-fed anymore. If you miss class or forget about an assignment, no one’s going to chase you up. You need to be really in control of what’s going on in your semester, or you could fall behind without even knowing it.
