I'm finishing my degree in about 3 or 4 weeks! And it's not college, it's university! When will you Yanks learn? [img]tongue.gif[/img] College is what you do from age 16 to 18.

College from 16 to 18 in what country do you do this?? I 've seen people in college at the age of 40. ;) The world is a big place with many different types of schools after High school.

College is typically attended by 16-18 year-olds in the UK. Yeah there can be mature students but if you don't miss any years of school and go straight to college you are 16-18 when you're there so [img]tongue.gif[/img] ;)

And there is no high school in the UK, lol. It's primary school then middle school then secondary school then college then university.

it is? Well I live in Scotland (UK for any who dont know [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) and the system is slightly different. I know Scotlands system is a bit different from Englands, but you definately have got the colled/uni bit mixed up.

Here in Scotland its Primary school-->Academy (secondary school)--> then college or uni.

You dont do college then uni, well maybe some folk do, but it is uncommon, also you can go to college at 18 if you like, 16 is the minimal age, and college courses can last longer than 2 years. And the college/uni bit also applies in England

What I said is perfectly correct for england or at least south of england, so I got nothing mixed up, except that I should have said england instead of UK. [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D
