      There are parts that are hard but I’m sure that’s true about any subject at university. I think that finding the subject material interesting makes anything easier to study so it really helps that I find physics interesting. Science can be a bit different to other subjects at university because you have more practical work like labs, I really enjoyed those parts but I know some people prefer written work like essays.

    All University work can be hard, but remember that just as A levels are harder than O levels you are also be getting better at studying all the time so actually its not that much harder than you will already be used to. One big difference is that since you will be older, and more grown up, you will be expected to do a lot more stuff by yourself and keep your self discipline to get workdone. No-one at university gets detention for not handing in reports on time, you have to be self driven to get the work finished. As with any other subject some bits will seem ‘easy’ and others ‘hard’ .People will be different so you can help each other with bits that you find easy when your friends get stuck. Finally, you will have picked a course you like (chemistry in my case) so it should be something you want to find out about and you should have fun as you do it.
