I started HND Business last year, i did one year but because of circumstances (hayfever and tutor shortage) i was 2 modules/units short of HNC, so I was annoyed @ the college for having shortages so I moved colleges and started a new course HND Bus with Tourism but its changed to HND Travel & Tourism and I have done 3 weeks of it and its boring, I'm not enjoying it @ all and the college is not as good I dont think. My old course has only had 2 weeks of its new semester, do you think I would be able to go back to that course? Would I look a fool for going back to the course I left because I didn't think the college was giving me the best? Advice please!

    Go and see your college career advisor asap, they should be able to advise you on changing courses, how this will affect any funding you get and what action you should take.
    Call your old department and find out if there is space for you to return to the course and whether it is possible for you to go back.
    If you want to continue this year you really will have to move fast otherwise you will fall behind and have to repeat the year.
    Your careers advisor will give you independent advice, they want to find what is best for you, not your college.
    Good Luck

    I think you should stick at the New Course you are on because in the end it probably is a better course and when you stick at it for a while you will see that it is not that bad and you will start to like it.

    Hi 2 years ago I started a HND in Accounts and I really hated it so I carried on and finished the first year and then transferred to do a HND Legal Services course. I am now in my second year and I am enjoying it so much more and I feel happier that I am on a course that I like and enjoy. So my advise is if you are really unhappy what is the point of carrying it on and you never know you could catch up on the 2 weeks that you have missed.

    Hope everything turns out alright
