    Welcome to EC - you sound very studious, good for you! :slight_smile:

    Why does being a twin suck?

    Hey there:smilewave college is ok, is quite cool. tbh i choose sociology because i origionally was taking maths, but upon finding that i was absolutly useless at it sociology was the only lesson left that i could take. soo... yeah, but im glad that i did take it in the end, its really good. Also, apart from the usual gcse's i also took, ict, geography and buiseness studies, i origionally wanted to take sociology at my school but there was no more room, and i failed my buisness studies so i dont think youll see me running a shop anytime soon, lol. but in the rest of my subjects i got b's so its good, exept for ict which i got a c in year 10 and a u in year 11, so im also bad with computers but its cool i guess(!)

    Welcome to EC! I majored in psych in college--definitely a fascinating subject.

    Welcome to EC! :grin:


    I've got to ask, since I'm not familar with the school systems in the UK, is it normal for a 16-year-old to be in college over there? In my experiences, most people aren't in college until they are 17 or 18, but that's at least how it is in south western US xD

    Hello! Gah-Kai here, or you can call me Gahks, or Doctor Faustus. Or Faustus.

    Good to meet another Brit! English Literature is amazing... study it if you get the chance! (I do PPE at university but I took a module in comparative literature in first year. Just because I could. And it was damn fun.)

    ---------- Post added 9th Nov 2011 at 01:56 PM ----------

    Oh! @Mister_E, while in the US college refers to tertiary or university-level education, college for UK folks means the last two years of secondary education, also known in some places as "sixth form".

    yeah its normal over here, in the UK the school leving age is 16 and people usually go to college straight after the summer that smae year, well me and everyone else did anyway so i think its pretty normal :slight_smile:
