I’m in university now, and one of the hardest things to come to terms with when I started was that I had moved from being the smartest person in the room to being fairly average. Universities are filled with Gifted students, which was a really strange environment for me! | |

If you’re getting really good grades without even trying, then I would say that you’re above average. Of course, it does make sense that gifted students flock to universities as well.  Welcome btw! | |

It’s an interesting and sometimes annoying experience. I get asked a lot of questions and asked to help others a lot. I don’t mind but, some things you would just think are common sense. I suppose that’s not the case in this day in age. Welcome aboard! And keep up the good work with your University. | |
