<p>Ahhh. Sorry for the confusion, forgot to mention I am an international student from a local high school in Hong Kong.</p>
<p>I should have no problem getting in a university in my country, granted that I cram enough these weeks for the university entry exams held in March/April. And we have our equivalents to American’s community colleges here, too. Interesting enough, they are called Institute of Vocational Education, IVE, pronounced ‘Ivy’! </p>
<p>In fact, one of the newest IVE campus is literally just a stone’s throw from where I live. I can get there in 5 minutes by foot, or in 3 minutes if I sprint.</p>
<p>I imagine such college life would be far from ideal, bursting out of bed every morning in shock, run to school, arriving in class just in time… like what I had been doing in the past 6, no, 9 years. Lol. The school I go to is 7 minutes more of walk.</p>
