dropping out before Jan,planning to trasfer next year

monkeybusness2

okay im not sure if this is on the right forum but im considering transfering out of arts in nuig.its not what i expected at all.im not loving the course at all im doing spanish,geog,psyc and soc and pol.i was considering repeating the lc but i accepted arts and i regret it big time.ive always been unsure what i wanted to do but now i know that id love to be studying a more science based course such as nursing, generals science and then go into physiology but in paticular id love to study biological and biomedical science.i love biology but never knew this course even existed(terrible carreer guidence in my school,i blame myself as well for my wrong decision,basing my college choice on where my friends are going is a bad idea!!!!)i know most the info bout transfering,if i drop out before jan i have to pay half fees.i can deal with that as i have half that saved and if i worked throughtout the summer i could save the rest.my main problem would be my accomadation and father.my lease is for the end of may with 500e deposit. i was considering trying o get a job after i drop out up in galway or at home and paying the rent or trying to get another tenent??also my father would hit roof if i dropped out but if i could make up most of the money myself for fees next id say he'd come round.the only real prob is the accomadation.do you think i should talk to the propiters about replacing me with another tenent??i dont want to lose my 500e dedposit.or should i just finish my degree in galway and not put me and my family through this financial strain??

You'll never get anywhere in Arts without proper punctuation and judicious use of paragraphs. :cool:
Make an appointment to see the academic adviser you had in September or see the nuig website about withdrawing from college.
Before you consider leaving, make sure you talk to someone who is familiar with this situation. Make an appointment this Monday. There are other options ie. opportunities for transfer to another course, completing your degree and then doing a conversion postgrad to a science based subject.
