Day 6

You know... I really do find the British System of what we call higher education quite charming, different... but I like it. :)

Some of the differences include:
-They divide College and University into two separate things: College to them refers to the ages of 16-18 and University is 18 and beyond.
-They also teach their courses for the entire year so essentially they are on Trimesters.
-They don't have Gen. Eds. (but most people were already aware of that fact) This is also why they operate a 3 year program rather than a 4 year program.

I would go on... and I probably will later but I must run and finish getting ready so that I can walk the 15min. to Campus in order to have a decent breakfast and then it is off on a tour of Canterbury and the Cathedral. :)
