College isn’t high school. You need to be more proactive about your understanding of class material, study habits, and ways to keep pace with the class. When you only have a couple of grades in a class, you can’t afford to let yourself fall behind in understanding the material. Go to the tutroing center. Go to professor office hours. Join or form a study group. Do all the steps listed in the post above.

You shouldn’t be devastated by your grades. You should learn from your mistakes and move forward. Many a straight A high school student has been rudely awakened by college. I think you will be ok if you understand that in college, you don’t have many chances to improve a low grade. And you dont just get to study architecture, so this coming year, make a real effort to stay on top right from the outset.

You don’t drop out of college because you had a rough first year. You pull yourself together and work harder. Many a student has been put in academic probation for far lower GPAs and managed to climb out of that hole. You are at least not in that position.
