About Krupple
I'm a logical, very conservative nice-guy. Ask me anything and I'll give you a true answer.
I'm good with family issues. I can help a lot when it comes to 'can I get pregnant or a disease doing this' type of problems.
I'm no professional, but whenever I read professional advice, I find myself reading what I would have told the questioner to do.
I'll be frank and I'll try my best to help you out. I've seen so many things in my life even at my age and I always try to give friends advice before I have to watch a bad outcome.
Those who take it are lucky. Kidding, kidding.
By the way, I've heard it all before. Incest, rape, balloon fetishes, car stuck in mud fetishes, theft, physical abuse, gun crimes, bondage, bird sodomization, furries, teddy bear pregnancy questions (more than once), you name it, I've heard it all (Watch The Aristocrats if you don't know what I mean).
Don't be embarrassed. Even if I don't approve of what you've done, I will give you my best advice.
Audies
Oh yeah, another thing.
If you send me idiotic questions about my personal life, I'm going to ignore you.
EXAMPLE: Note that this yotch doesn't even know I'm a dude.

I'm a university student, but not in America, so I'm a bit confused by some of the info mentioned in questions at Advicenators. Also, if I ever study overseas, knowing this in detail will come in handy.
1) Is there a difference between 'college' and 'university' in an American context? (I'm presuming also that 'college' differs from 'vocational college', but is that correct?)
2) What are 'liberal arts' as studied in America? Do they play an important part in a standard university degree?
3) How many years does a general university degree (such as B. Arts) usually last, and in that length of time, how many majors are usually completed?
I already have some preconceptions of American tertiary education, but I expect they're wrong for the most part, so all clarification is appreciated. =)
I'm about to go to college, and here's the way I understand it.
College is inclusive
A college can be a 2 year school you go to that isn't taken as seriously, or isn't as prestigious as a university.
Or it can be a university.
So when someone says they're going to college, or "what college are you going to?" They are referring to a two year college, or a university, which is also a type of college. I haven't heard of vocational college though.
A university usually has dorms (or rooms) you can live in on campus. Universities last for four years.
Liberal arts are anything from music to photography to painting. They aren't very for a normal degree. You might have to take a few courses depending on the college.
A general degree takes four years to earn. Some only take two, but to be a regular college graduate, one would want to take four years. Usually someone will only have one major and one minor. Then all the other required 'core' classes such as English, Math, Science and History.
A masters degree usually takes a few extra years (6 years) earn.

The two-year school probably corresponds to 'vocational college' and what's called TAFE (where I live) then. Four-year degrees and ONE major? Wow. I'm very surprised, but it sounds like American degrees typically have quite a few 'core' classes... Well, thank you for clearing that up for me! =)
