![Page 27: Premaster Organization Studies Tilburg University 10-11-2016](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021506/5878c8c41a28ab26728b6849/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
My struggles & misconceptions
1. ‘’The transition from ’’HBO’’ to university level is too hard’’
Wrong!
Yes, it’s hard work – but it’s also fun, challenging and rewarding.
2. ‘’Studying in English is impossible’’
Wrong!
It takes some adaption – but if you put in an effort and dare to step up, you’ll be fine.
3. ‘’University education is very unpersonal’’
Wrong!
Lectures are of personal & interactive nature, lecturers don’t bite
4. ‘’When you study at the university you’ll have no more time for a social life!’’
Wrong!
Very wrong – I’ve been an active member of study association POLIS, have time for a part-
time job and enough time for friends & beers…
