How common is it to fail a university course in the first semester and have to take it again at another time?

Question by David B: How common is it to fail a university course in the first semester and have to take it again at a further time?
I have given things my best shot, but unfortunately, it looks like this might happen with one of my courses. I’ll be really embarrassed if it does. How common is this?

Best answer:

Answer by Jacob
Honestly common really.
As many as 50% of university attendants never really manage to get any form of degree, obviously, lots of people fail classes at some top.
I, for myself, have failed one in the past due to sheer thoughtlessness.
Of my friends, somewhere between a quarter and half have failed a class at some top, though many made it to their degree without a release fail.
It certainly isn’t something to be proud of, but like with most things in life, take it in stride, resolve to improve, and go on.
