 "College (Latin: collegium) is a term most often used today in Ireland and the United States to denote a degree-awarding tertiary educational institution and in other English-speaking countries to refer to a secondary school in private educational systems. More broadly, it can refer to any group of colleagues, such as an electoral college, a College of Arms or the College of Cardinals. The precise usage of the term varies among the English-speaking countries. In the United States and Ireland, for example, the terms "college" and "university" may be regarded as loosely interchangeable, whereas in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and other Commonwealth countries, a "college" is usually an institution between school and university level (although constituent schools within universities are sometimes known as "colleges"). In French, a "collège" refers both to 4 years of middle school and to a general concept of sharing an institution, and in the Commonwealth countries, some older private primary and secondary schools retain this sense of the word (for example, Eton College). Originally, it meant a group of persons living together, under a common set of rules (con- = "together" + leg- = "law" or lego = "I choose"); indeed, some colleges call their members "fellows". Is it the same in Asian countries too? | ||

A college is like a Tier 3 school. A university is a collection of Tier 3 schools (think a ball of Ultras). For instance, I went to the College of Egineering at Drexel University. But there was also the College of Arts, College of Information Sciences, College of Law, and College of Business (and maybe others, but I don't remember). | ||

I am not that close to my family. I'm close in the sense that I love them, but not in the sense that if we are apart for awhile I feel sad. So going to university I didn't really feel bad about being apart. They were close enough (2 hours) that I could go home if I wanted. I think everyone has a time where they just get to university and don't know anyone well and they miss the comfortable feeling of being with their family. It'll pass. | ||

I can give you some good tips about where to go if you say what kind of things you're interested in. I'm interested in SC xD i've always wanted to take up kendo, it'd be really awesome if there was a dojo somewhere in London :3 I also like movies, a lot, so a good cinema thats not too expansive wud be nice. For the other things like pubs i guess I have to wait and see where I live and what the area's like. I'm gonna be living in Three Colts Lane for this first year, so if u know the area if u could tell me wat it's like, also advertising that any TLers in the area, i'd love to meet up and maybe do an improptu mini-lan once im settled ^_^ | ||
