Starting any university course is sure to give prospective students a few headaches and nightmares before the term starts, so it is no real surprise that I am already starting to feel the nerves - especially after reading of other students hesitations and problems when studying law.
Law is one subject which has a lot of negativity surrounding its difficulty. I have read many a story about law students who can’t keep up with the recommended reading, struggle to understand the text and can’t manage their time effectively. I have been told by many people that studying law will leave me with almost no social life, let alone time for hobbies, and this is certainly off-putting.
What do I worry about in concerns to studying law? Well, first of all I worry about the difficulty of the course and the complexity of the material which I will have to memorise and evaluate. Secondly, I worry about how I will get on with other students in my class – not on a personal level, but more on the professional side. A typical law student worry is about having free time, because I have other things which I enjoy doing and also have a boyfriend and family to keep in touch with.
No-one really knows what to expect from university, or from their course. You can’t predict what type of people will be in your class, or what each module will cover, and it is that uncertainty which invokes fear or anxiety. At the moment I am just trying to keep my mind on other things I enjoy, trying to make the most of my free time!
