Leaving a school where you excelled in the subject you've chosen to take at degree level is really bewildering. Suddenly, you're a small fish in a big pond, and everyone around you is equally as good at this subject. You may find yourself dealing with imposter syndrome or not feeling good enough to be enrolled on your course. You'll feel this the most when you get your first assignment back. It can be scary to be greeted with a 65. Weirdly, at university scoring 65 percent on an essay is actually really good. That's 2:1 standard! You'll soon learn that getting over 80 percent is almost unheard of, so take the small wins and try to remember that things are graded a little differently at this academic level.
