Life is like riding a bicycle.

You don't fall off unless you stop pedaling

You know you go to college/uni. when.....

You know you go to college/uni WHEN ...

1.Your floor has or is dirty to the point that you've had to brush your feet off before putting on socks or getting into bed

2.People help you kick the vending machine so you can get your crisps that got stuck

3. You open your fridge, and what you normally see is some empty water bottles, and that's it!

4.School started before 9am, but now anything before 12pm is considered “early."

5.Weekends start on Thursday, sometimes Wednesday

6.6am is when you go to sleep, not when you wake up

7.Your idea of feeding the poor is buying yourself some noodles

8.You skip one lesson to write an essay for another

9.A canceled lesson is almost as exciting as Christmas

10.Your teachers speak English... as a second language

11.Class size doubles on exam days

12.You stay in college/uni for hours in between lessons when it's too cold to go home

13.Printers break down only when you desperately need them

14.You set your clock 10 minutes ahead so you make it to college on time, but still late sometimes

15.If you’ve got a car, waking up in the morning and having to walk or drive somewhere JUST to get your car

16.There's always a "question kid" in at least one of your lessons, and you really wish they would shut up

17.Instead of falling asleep in lesson, you stay in bed

18.You check Facebook/Myspace more than once a day.

19.Finding random people in your house is perfectly normal, you even sympathize with them

20.You discover new bruises on your body and wonder where they came from

21.You ask people what YOU did last night

22.You see people you know you’ve met but can never remember their names or how you know them

23.Looking through the post becomes an ego booster/breaker

24.Your teachers swear in class and no one cares

25.You text faster than you type
====================================
I find this to be PERFECTLY true about college life. yes

It's snowing finally! :DHappy July 4th. :)

Don't you agree w/ that? bigsmile ... WEll, at least, it's true abt college life in the States.... rolleyes
What's it like goin' to college in Norway? smile

We don't really have any US-style colleges. We have upper secondary schools, university colleges and universities.

Neither of these provide special student houses near or rooms in campus. Students have to find apartments near their institution themselves. Although students can turn to their institution for help finding housing.

But even so, it's not unusual to find students living together in the same apartment, while some live alone in rather modest apartments.

A lot of students party and visit pubs in their town every weekend. Very few actually use their spare time to study, at least in secondary school. The social life near educational institutions is strong as a result.

I wouldn't actually know about the life in university colleges or universities my self since I've never attended either, and got a competence certificate after working as an intern for two years. But I'm about to get some first hand experience at a university college next year.

bigeyes Well, actually that sounds pretty much like here! yes
Except, the terms "university colleges and university universities" sound really confusing to me. ... What's the difference between these two?

Oh, you're gonna go to college next year? cool What are you gonna major in? Computer Science, maybe? ... Just guessing~! yes

Knut Remi "DrLaunch" Løvlidrlaunch Sunday, December 13, 2009 12:42:26 AM

There are no university universities. Remove one "university" and you've got it right. up
A university is a university like in the US, with a broad spectrum of subjects and its own research.

University college is kind of like a university, except they often specialize in a few subjects, and there's not necessarily any research going on. It's mainly a tertiary education institution.

I'm not going to college. I'm going to university college. There's a difference. Norwegian education =|= US education. But my major will probably be IT. I repeat. I'm not going to college. I'm going to a university college, which is the closest thing to a university in Norway.

AnyThing :PClass10a1 Sunday, December 13, 2009 4:04:18 PM

Oooh, I see, I see.
Well, actually I said "go to college" because here in the US, "college" and "university" have exactly the same meaning. ... Plus, we normally say "go to college" when we want to refer to the post-high school institutions. It's kinda hard to find somebody who says "go to university" ... That sounds sorta ... "awkward",... rolleyes ..
Anyways, as you're coming back to school, good luck! yes ...

Knut Remi "DrLaunch" Løvlidrlaunch Sunday, December 13, 2009 9:34:49 PM

Oh, I get it now. If I went to school in the US I'd be going to college, because the school is higher than high school. smile

Anyways, thank you. But I'm not sure if I'll get in, because I can't find the course they advertised earlier, which I qualified for.
