One thing about teaching yourself from the textbooks … in the long run you might just be getting a better education because most students couldn’t do that to save their lives. You must be pretty smart.

Group work is extremely important in your university years

and I do not know what major you are in, but there are groups you can get into. For example, in my university, there was the science undergraduate society, the mathematics undegraduate society etc, and there were rooms where students would sit in, socialize, solve problems together etc.

Do not miss out on joinining those societies, they are a great

source of help. Please do not be shy and reluctant to join or you would miss out and only hurt yourself.

A lot of courses also have problem solving tutorials and TA’S, where there classes are a lot smaller a lot more can be gained out of your time.

The last thing I would like to give you, is a piece of advice my dad always gave me ” read ahead and be ahead”

I did not realize the importance of this till I got to uni.

When you already know what your lecturer is going to be talking about it helps a huge deal. What used to work in school will not work in university, so set yourself up for better

habits.

And do talk to your lecturer about your problem and see what they suggest.

EDIT: I do realize you want to see, but do take advantage of the heeps of other sources you have, joining socities, group work, tutorials etc.
