Guess you thought wrong, and that is just a bold-faced lie, chump.
No that im serious about.

Erik, dont confuse me with someone who has any loyalty to anything or anyone. Im what some might call a piece of human garbage that should be flushed down the toilet. I would wipe my ass with the english flag without costing a thought. The Queen means nothing to me, nor does any national song or national team. m the one who hates the english for what they are. Im anti-english, anti-american and anti-world. I do get along well with other people who dont like america and people who live in small tribes in africa.I
Its just when im here and I see everyone is doing it, even americans, I see no need to do that :D

You cant compare the UK with America, the USA is like 892x bigger than the UK, so if the UK had as many universities as America there wouldnt be any space left for people to live

Really....?? Aside from Cambridge, LSE and Oxford what other WORLD RENOUND institutions which are known for a range of depts. can the UK offer?

The sheer amount of choice of top rate Universities in the U.S. cannot be matched.
I dont mean amount of choice or amount of Universitys boys. This isnt my opinion its something pretty well known. The top Unis like Cambridge, Oxford, Yale, Harvard match each other out or maybe American takes it. But out of the rest the UK unis are rated a great deal higher.

Its not my opinion its a fact, or atleast was. Maybe things changed since last time I spoke about this :D

Also: In the US there is a more equal system, we allow every person a chance to go to college, and remember, there is a shit load more colleges in the US.

In the UK only the top percent get to attend.
Not true. Anyone in the UK can go to Uni if they pass a levels which arent that hard. You said college. Everyone goes to college. We rate college like you rate final years at highschool. Its high school > college/alevel > uni.

Every person has a chance to go to Uni also. But they have to work for that chance and cant pay their way in like americans. You tell me whats more fair?

you have a point....the Law Schools in Italy are tough but a joke in terms of admission....as is the case in France, Belgium and Germany.

However from what I know there is no necessity anywhere to have a Bachelors and write an entrance exam (nation wide). Could be wrong..open to attacks.
There is a limit to admission in Holland. You must have either:

  • A bachelor's degree, or;
  • A VWO/Atheneum degree

The latter is very complicated to explain because in the Dutch system; pupils have to take a test in their last year at primary school after which is determined at which level of highschool you can participate. There are 5 levels of high school, only the top two offer you a chance of entering a university and ONLY if your grades are high and you pass the admission exam of the university in question.

But we're an exception I've heard so I wouldn't have expected any foreigner to know this. I mean, we're not exactly a global power here.

No you got it wrong, that's only for presidential candidates, the rest actually have to take standardized tests and pass them. :D

PREACH BROTHER, PREACH!
You arent getting it. I mean a higher level of Academics, a tougher curriculum. Not a choice of course where you can study something insignifcant or play on a sports team. Americans go to Uni for the purpose of going to Uni. British go to Uni so they can compete in the job market.

It is easier to get into college here, but once you are in, you have to prove your worth.
Not if you go to the community college


you can also make a 'donation' to the university and theyll let you in

    Italy from what I see has more or less the same high school system....you can follow various "paths" depending on your grades early on, etc.
    It seems good on paper but I don't agree with the theory..

    The best University system is the Canadian one. ANYONE has a chance to go from the top rate to the lowest rated Colleges/Universities. Tuition is 1,000 a SEMESTER (!) for schools that match Harvard and Yale (a bit more for a for. student but still).
    Burke..its a sneaky system we have in the U.S. A strong high school student will NEVER get into a top rate University without MONEY...only the MONEY or TOP TOP students can attend the top rated schools for which there are many. In this way the American Dream in Academics is horsesh*t....not ANYONE can make it to Harvard or Stanford. The silver spoons can or those with insane SAT scores. Thats flawed.
