LadyKiKi said, December 18, 2008, 12:28:07 pmCollege/6th Form - 16-18If you would say that, I go to College. But I think it is high school for Americanos (you are between 16-18 years old when you go to "high school" in the US?)In Sweden we have something called "högskola" which translated would be "highschool", but a "högskola" is said to be the exact same thing as university ("Universitet" on Swedish).Using various translators/lexicons it just gives me that college means "Universitet" and so does university.
Psychologist have to deal with people who have problems. psychiatrist deal with the chemically imbalanced. and psyducks have to deal with the scum of the earth.

In the US, school is 12-16 and THEN high school is 16-18, whereas College is like 18+ and University squeezes somewhere inside.Psyluck can shoot lasers.

Finished university several years ago, and obtained a Masters Degree in Supply Chain management during last year.
B.Sc., Documentation and Computer Science in MedicineValodim said, December 17, 2008, 11:35:05 pmOh also, I think Computer Sciences is the most leisure subject of study ever. Pretty much everyone who didn't study to become a teacher told me they had a fucking huge workload, and to me it sounded like we were at about 30% of that. Not just me mind you, the other cs-students as well.Anyways, studying is AWESOME. The subjects themselves are rather.. slow moving, but I can learn the interesting stuff myself without anyone saying "do more for school" or whatever, and I meet interesting people. I love it. yay
Guess everywhere is different...I started high school when I was 10. I was younger than most other people though. The average age was about 12 or so.
By your country's standards I guess. We don't have Junior High here. Grades 7-11 and the optional 12th are just called High School.
I was just trying to tell you how to put it in terms everyone could understand, it's not like that in my country at all either.3 yrs of Kindergardten (3-5 years old)6 yrs of Primary School (Elementary, 6-12 years old)3 yrs of Secondary School (Junior High, 13-15 years old)2/3 yrs Preparatory School (High School 16-18 years old)3/5 yrs University (2 years of College [General studies], 2/3 years for University Specialty)
2 yrs of Kindergardten (3-4 years old)5 yrs of Primary School (5-10 years old)2 yrs of Secondary School (Intermediate, 11-12 years old)5 yrs Preparatory School (College 13-18 years old)Uni, any time after thisAlso, here you can leave college as soon as you hit 16. Although people who do that tend to be deadbeats.
Valodim said, December 18, 2008, 12:15:20 amWorks differently in some subjects around here, CS being one of them:They take all the people, and filter out the bad apples in the first one or two semesters. We are about 80 right now, going by statistics from predecessors we'll be around 30 in a year and 20 in two Out of my class of 30-40 in CS 101, I think only 4 actually made it through to graduation (me included).
My roomate is already failing out of CS.Honestly, I'm not seeing what's so hard about it.Being at a mainly CS and SE oriented school, there are going to be tons getting through...There are at least a few hundred students in CS here.They have it so ridiculously business oriented here though that it really isn't focusing on programming skill and finesse, as much as it is focusing on proper business style writing.. hence why people can write shit projects that are filled with holes, and as long as they fill their program with notes and a useless gui they still pass.
