Chaosmaker Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 I'm hoping to go to the US Air Force Academy. Its free and all you got to do is serve with the the military for 8 years with good pay and after that you get a nice fat pension if you retire. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark0ne Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 What age group is American college for? In the UK college is for 16+, and university is for 18+. My year out is almost over and I'll be starting a 3 year Computer Science Bsc course at Exeter university at the end of September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaosmaker Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 In the US you got to go through grade school. (Grades 1-12) After that you can go to college. For most US colleges you must be 17+ to enter with the slight exception to baby genius's like my 10 year old cousin who already graduated grade school. I hate it when he beats me in chess. :*( :*( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightlessBird Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I use basically the same system as Slaiv as far as difficulty goes. Goin into 10th grade, in a public school system that thinks adding 15 minutes to a school day is going to acheive a higher level of education. Bs.... ~German II (favorite class easy)~Web Design I~Algebra II Hon.~English II Hon.~Chemistry I Hon.~AP European History Failed the first AP test, hey it was my first one ever, but I got a C on the next one. Im claimin, at this rate, I'll get an A on the next one! College? Phh! Come back in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltiraaz Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Anthropology, not Mythology. lol And yes Weight Training, its fun. Here in Canada grade school runs 1-8 (ages 5 to 13) High School runs 9-12 (ages 13-18) University and College are the same thing, but colleges tend to focus toward non-specialized jobs, and Universities toward highly specialized jobs.

ShinJiOh Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 In Australia, it's k-6, then 7-12, then whatever you want to do after that.... of course i think you're allowed to drop out of school when you turn 14 and 9 months or something. I don't particularly like the school system in this country, because it tries to emphasise the need to go to a tertiary education to get a good job. Yes to get the REALLY good jobs you do, but Australia is in a skilled labour shortage, and i'd say that about 95% of students end up going to uni or tafe... The country is undercutting itself...
