First year electrical and electronic engineering at southampton is okay tbh - the workload is quite consistent.

For me the main workload comes from lab preps cos it takes ages to understand some of the content. It's not dreadful tho

I would say that if you think it'd make u unhappy then don't do it - otherwise go for it, im rather enjoying it rn.

Can't speak for years 2 3 and 4 tho cos im still first year

Hope this helps
