    You could probably go from Philosophy to Philosophy and history but not like to SH Economics.
    No one really explained it to me anyway I was told it will have been okay and I just had to get used to it, but it has not worked out like that.

    it is difficult cos you don't want to give up and switch straight away as it might get better. and by the time you realise it wont you're too far in

    but you've got to the third year so it cant be too bad

    just work as hard as you can for the last year and get the best marks possible

    I have hated it all and I really am just a person looking in on a place I do not belong.

    Best way i can describe going to uni for me is an out of body relationship. I just feel like I am looking in on thes people in lectures and tutorials. I do not feel I am part of it all.

    speak to your student advise people they may be able to help guide you on what you can change to. It's amazing what you can change to, and if only I'd have followed my advise then ;)
