Members misle Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'll decide for sure at the end of this semester but right now all signs are pointing towards Recreational Management. Edit: Or Public Administration. Dude, how do you get a 1.5 in that? Are you going to class? My first degree, an associates (and waste of time ) took me 20 months.My second degree, BS in Electrical Engineering, took me 5.5 years while working full time. I could only take 9-12 hours per semester or I would be totally over loaded between school, work, playing in a band, and recording local bands.I found the class work to be much harder than the actual job after college. So no need to fear 'real' life (unless you are afraid of cooking your own meals and doing your own laundry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which sounds weird to Americans, because we think of University as a place. So we say that we are going to the University or a University.It's funny how the language changes over time in different places.What is College in the UK?

I dunno I think it's like a continuation of high school in america or something Basically when you finish High School, you get GCSE grades. Those grades then go towards getting into college and when you finish your "generally" two year college course, you get A-Level grades. Those grades then go towards getting into university and then you do your 3-4 year degree I think they changed the GCSE thing recently into a diploma thing or some {censored}. Happened after I left HS so I don't really know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A University is a place where you can get a undergraduate, graduate (masters), or doctorate degree (PhD).At least I think that's how it technically works. Most of us use University/college as synonyms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bgmaggot Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 Misle pretty much got it. Colleges offer 4 year degrees, some will have select graduate programs. Schools with specific programs (College of Law, College of business, etc) are often called colleges as well. Universities tend to have programs from undergraduate to doctoral in their subjects.

Members Blackwater Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 6 years!! I also started as a Psychology major and then a year deep changed it to a BFA. I also took time off to tour and travel etc...and worked over 40hrs a week the whole time. I will never really use my actual degree for a job, but the knowledge I gained was beyond what I ever imagined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
