Or has anyone studied abroad there? I am going to study there and I would like to know what it is like in more details.
Is anyone going to study abroad in England this coming fall?
well its not exactly "abroad" for me since I have dual citizenship (English and American) and I grew up there but I might be going back this fall
English colleges are more spesific than American ones, if you choose say an "Animal Care" degree you will just be studying animal care and related subjects, they won't make you take classes in unrealted subjects as is usual in an American college, although they do have short lessons in "key skills" (english, maths, etc) if you need a little brush up in those areas, a lot of colleges also have (and sometimes make you take) some kind of "enrichment" course, those tend to be pretty short, once a week kind of things and can be anything from learning how to drive to sign language
Remember English Highschool finishes at 16 so don't be suprised if you see 16-17 year olds everywhere, or if they make up half or more of your class mates
And you may as well also know drinking at weekends and going out (even nipping to the pub for a pint at lunch time if theres one close enough) is pretty much a standard part of college life (even some of the 16-17 year olds, the legal drinking age is 18) some colleges even have bars especially for the student,) although obviously you shouldn't be showing up for class drunk!
if you have any other questions (like what the certificate/dregrees mean or are like) then just send me a line I'll be happy to help if I can
