Does anyone know the difference between what you guys refer to "university" and American Colleges and Universities? Is there alot of state sponsorship for those going on to university? Do English Universities offer scholarships for athletics, good grades in high school, financial needs
?
I went to my state university. A university over here is made up of many different "colleges/areas to major in." I majored in animal sciences/pre-veterinariian sciences hence received a Bachelor of Science Degree. It was much cheaper for me to go to college "in-state." I also received a bit of a scholarship for throwing the javelin on the track and field team.
My sisters and little brother went to colleges out of state (New York and Massachusetts) and they were very expensive. Also they were much harder for an out-of-stater to get into.
Does any of this make sense to you. I'm just trying to understand the similarities and differences. Oh yeah, I would say 90% of American Universities and Colleges have quite active social lives. I was in one of those fraternities ya see in the movies. Although we weren't nearly as wild as most you see. Then again, I forget much of it!
