University/College

Yeah so I'll be posting about how my first week of college or university as some (*cough* the Brits *cough*) call it .... alotta walking so far lol

Lol I can’t even handle the walking in high school. Do you get air-conditioning there?

we call say university because college and university are different levels of education

OT: A poesitive attitude won't solve all your problems but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort!

HEHE

I always thought university and college are the same...

Anyways, so how is it so far?

here you go to scool untill your 17 (it was 16 untill a few days ago, they just passed a the new rules saying if your starting secondry school from now on, scool is compulsory untill your 17.) then if you want to yo can go to college and further your education. Then after a few years of that you can apply to universities and they say if they will take you and what they want you to do before they will have you. a few years there and you can come out with a degree.

Whats the point of a university degree? Isn't a college degree enough? :scratch:

the university qualifications are better, heres an example, i was doing a foundation degree in computer science at college, after doing that for 2 years i could stop there or go on to university to do another year and make it a full degree.

i dont think you can get a degree from a college course here,

Hmm...I am pretty sure that if I get a Pharmacy Degree here, that is good enough to start my own pharmacy...maybe I'm wrong....

no your probably right, american and english education systems are very different

Starting a pharmacy doesn't need a degree, working at a pharmacy does though.

Hey, leave us Brits alone!





I hope there's at least some excitement in college (teehee), just don't break loose at 3:00am parties haha


~Ameer (if ya dont remember me, im from sal's)

Want an even wakier system?

Lol, we have

-preschool (3-4)
-primary school (5-12)
-high school/college* (13-18)
-uni(18+)

* we use the word college as well high school I guess but normally a private highschool is a college.

Nope, in America College=University...

Cool... I wasnt arguing with you thats how it is for us...

So you don't have intermediate school?

Nope, we are to brillliant for that.

Nope, no one is too brilliant for school...otherwise you wouldn't go there...

Thats right were to brilliant for intermadiate school so wee dont even have it!

lol yeah preid, everythings air conditioned here ... but we did have ACs at my high school too, just not in all of the rooms (but usually the ones I was in )

yeah so its alright, don't really know anybody in my classes but I see alota people walking around school, the good thing is that I don't have to wake up early anymore (except for Tuesdays) and I don't have more than 3 classes a day. Plus I made room in my scheduale for Jumm'ah so its all good right now

whats Jumm'ah?

Jummah is Friday in urdu. he is maintaing the religious prayer Muslims are suppose to do on Fridays

No Hassan!! Jummah is Friday in ARABIC-it says so in the Quran

i need to stop asking about your culture it makes my head hurt

lol these fools always make stuff seem like that ...

Jumm'ah just means Friday (in both Arabic and Urdu). Its when Muslims pray in congregation at the Masjid (Mosque), just like how Christians attend church every Sunday ...
