Assalamualaykum. Laugh all you want at my conundrum, but please give me some clarity in this matter.

I am currently in my 2nd semester as a BS CS student at FAST Islamabad. My CGPA right now is like 2.2 and I fear after this semester, its gonna drop even further and I might even have to repeat some courses. I thought I could cope with FAST and its relentless academic pressure. I just can't. Call me weak, idc.

Now currently, I'm looking into NUST again. I had applied last year but coming from an A lvl background and basically no prep, I got like 107 or smth. InshaAllah I'll study for NET 4 if I get the chance. I just need 160 and above to secure a spot in CS at SEECS. I might even take a shot at GIKI.

Say I get accepted into NUST. Is it worth it? Some people might say i just wasted a year. Id say that I've already studied 1 year of this degree so if I'll be restarting from the beginning, I can actually excel and genuinely get a good gpa. Plus, I can look into extra curricular and stuff, or even side projects.

Am I delusional? Should I just suck it up and stay in FAST? This place is literal hell and I've genuinely tried to cope. I just can't. It's too much. I know people in NUST and they are having so much fun while maintaining a good gpa. I want a university experience, not a glorified school one.

Please help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Now currently, I'm looking into NUST and GIKI again. I had applied last year but coming from an A lvl background and basically no prep, I didnt get a good score. InshaAllah I'll study properly this time to possibly qualify for merit based aid possibly.
