College is 2 years, but it matters on your professor if its hard or not
University is 4 years, more expensive.

In America college is the same as university. In the UK college usually means sixth form (the same as the last couple of years in American highschool).
Although some people (the americanised brits) call uni, "college". Confusing eh?
I've got 12 GCSEs
2 1/2 A levels
I'm mid way through my BSc (hons) in computing
I'm probably going to do a MCP or MCDBA vocational qualification at the end of this year.

It's the study of what is, what wa nad what shall be (according to me lecturer back then!) It vbasically entailed theorising about the cause nad effect of all matter and consequence in the universe!

I'm aware of that, I am a philosophy major, but all metaphysics is theoritical ain't it? metaphysics is more than cause and effect if i'm not mistaken. anything to do "beyond" the physics in fact.

Exactly.....it was basically a matter of trying to decide on the actual cause of Gravity.....
We covered thangs like....dare I say.....ESP and the supernatural.....whether they are forms of energy, thought or just random gravitational wells...
Basically, the be all and end all of the human imagination and whether it was a catalist to creation!
Was peice of pizz in truth......a whole course of thinking!

Yeah, one of my flatmates is from inner city london and is really bitter towards people like our upstairs flatmates. Basically, he was going to do medicine, and whilst he got the grades he was rejected on the basis of his interview.
He ended up doing Law at Bristol (still a "good" degree) and is annoyed at all the people who got there mainly due to the wealth of their parents.
He says posh people are gits because they never have to work so they are out on the pop every night and have no consideration for their neighbours.
