What are your perceptions of College/University life in Great Britain?

<p>The real question is, what do YOU (Brits) think about AMERICAN colleges?</p>

<p>all my friends are in british unis, and i wish i had gone too! SOO MUCH FUNNER! first of all they are all legal, so drinking, etc, isn’t an issue ! The work is a LOT harder though, and they only do 3 years, thus concentrate only on their area of study, no pre-reqs or anything.</p>

British universities are no more difficult than their American counterparts. I took third year modules while studying abroad and found them comparatively easy.</p>

<p>We know you get killed in campus massacres! :wink: Not the case here. We’re too bloody drunk to go around on a shooting spree. Although, having a gun in the first place would be illegal!</p>

<p>True, what is the legal age to drink there currently? 19?</p>

<p>Nothing for us to be proud about, but we are the worst binge drinkers in the European Union. That’s just youngsters who in their early teens! The adults, well, just as bad on the FRI, SAT, SUN nights out.</p>
