First year: The "culling" phase

University - the promised land of forward thinking, education and the transition into adulthood. Rest assured it is a "promise" because University in reality is actually a wake up call. The transition from high school to university to the working world is full of challenges and the first year of university has become a challenge for many. In a way it is the year that an institution can either funnel or "cull" their number of first year students.

Most certainly a lot of universities offer a four year undergrad with the first year being more of an introduction into their future majors, but making the cut is still tough. And what about the unprepared individuals who are thrown into the deep end of a three year bachelors degree? They are the ones most at risk to face the big old boot.
