B Reading Comprehension
2 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
The leap from secondary school to university is a huge one. Suddenly, you are no longer in familiar surroundings and are responsible for yourself. For some students that is a bit frightening, while for others it is reason for excitement. Having had to wear a silly school uniform for years, I was thrilled to get rid of it. There were rules at university, too. Basically, I had to attend most of my tutorials and hand in any assignments my tutors had set for me. You don’t have teachers running after you to correct homework. Lecturers give you knowledge that you somehow have to learn. You aren't taught; you are given knowledge from academics. Other than that, I was free to do as I wished it wasn't even compulsory to go to lectures. However, too much freedom and a lack of routine can lead to trouble. Several people I knew fell so far behind that they gave up and dropped out of university I was very nearly one of them. Students' life is liberating, but it also requires a measure of self-control and a strong determination to succeed. Finding that balance was one of the hardest things. I'd ever had to do. It was well worth it though because, in the end, I learnt how to talk care of myself and work towards a bright future.
To conclude, going to university isn’t an easy matter however you have to bear much responsibility. You have to be very self-motivated and an independent learner
