Studying at university is harder: IELTS Task 2 essay #4, band 6.5

Nowadays, a large number of students believe that studying in college and university is difficult than the school. This mainly because there are more academic tasks which may seem difficult to learners. However, this issue can be solved by supporting students and adjusting their time management. One major reason why most of students find studying more challenging is that the academic assignment is significantly heavier whereas, school pupils tend to do primary and easy tasks. Moreover, students who study in universities have too many responsibilities such as a being independent, work and analyse complex informations and complete them. Unlike school learners, may do not complete difficult duties and they are often guided by teachers. As a result, most of undergraduates may struggle with difficulties at universities and believe that studying at school is easier. Another contributing reason, is the they need to balance academic duties and personal obligations. For example, some learners may have part-time job after the learning, or some of them may move to from their families, which makes studying more difficult. One effective solution to solve this problem is universities should provide support students morally and mentally programmes rather than constantly listening lectures. These solutions may help students develop their learning methods and they may feel confident when they tend to complete complex informations. Moreover, they should learn and encourage themselves by setting realistic goals which, helps to improve their time management skills and become less motivated. For instance, dividing large tasks into small steps is effective way to learn something new and they do not feel overwhelmed during the studies. Furthermore, universities can offer counselling services to help reduce stress and pressures of universities life. In conclusion, students may experience difficulties at universities such as complete challenging tasks and become independent with taking part-time jobs after the university. Nonetheless, with supporting of teachers, students can adapt more successfully education and achieve better academic duties.
