For me, the first year of university was a culture shock. I slid through high school with ease and just expected that university would be similar. My first degree was a double major in biology and physics. After my first mid-terms (two of which I barely passed), I knew that it I had to learn how to study... fast. I can attest to the significant drop out rate. I started my degree with 15 people from my graduating class and only three of us finished. It is incredibly humbling to go from the top of the class to the middle or bottom of the barrel.
