觉得 versus 以为:

1. 觉得 can mean "to feel (followed by a feeling or sensation)", 以为 does not have this meaning.
E.g. 我全身都觉得冷。 I feel cold all over my body.

2. 觉得 and 以为 can both mean “to think (followed by an opinion), but the difference here is that 以为 means "to think or believe (erroneously), to assume (usually without proof)", while 觉得 is simply "to think”.
E.g. 他觉得汉语很有趣,而且很有用处。 He thinks Chinese is very interesting and useful.
E.g. 很多人以为你得到了奖学金。A lot of people thought (erroneously) that you gained the scholarship.
