I think the "American comedy show" part explains why I haven't watched it. xP Merlin, Sherlock and Dr Who are all British drama, so ... :p I've honestly never heard of that though, odd.

It's pretty popular on the internet. Probably because it's a pretty good show.

Well, I suppose I'll give it a look then, if it's popular. :3 What's a Community college though? ^^;;

Like a cheap kind of college in the US where you can take classes part time if you already have a full-time job or something.

You can start at a Community college and transfer to a 4 year college/university here as well. It costs less money that way.

Basically this. They are very cheap and they accept anyone who lives in the area. Due to this, several different types of people can go there, which contributes to the diversity of the Study Group. You have people who slacked off in school and didn't get into a real university (Troy, Brita), people who can't afford a real university (Annie, Abed), people who are planning to transfer credits to a real university (Annie), adults who are trying to learn a new skill part time (Shirley), old people who have nothing better to do (Pierce), and Jeff Winger.

Ah, thanks for explaining that. I think our "college" is basically the same thing over here, actually, though I think it might be just a little different. I know a lot about our universities but not that much about colleges.

This is why I'm going to a community college when I can so I guess I'm a Troy. ._________.

(Yep I'm 20 years old and not in college. Long story.)

That's okay, if you do well you can pull an Annie and transfer to a better school.

Hmm, sounds like something we have in Norway as well. Most people just use it for a year off though, it's usually not directed at actual studies, but more like ... not studies, I guess. Many people go there to get some experiences, like hiking, sports (especially skiing is a popular one) and other things.

Or you could serve in the army like me. Get all the fresh air you could dream about, all day long.


Today was a pretty good day. Mostly because yesterday was a shitty day. And of course, free pizza.


Also, @TheMissingno.; we should totally write each others blog next week when we've passed 4 years.

College for us is basically uni for you, except the differences for us are that a college is basically one school located in one spot. A university is normally bigger, better financed, and can have multiple satellite campuses. It's really just a difference in how the institute is run.

A community college is basically a cheaper uni and most are only for 2 years instead of 4 or more, or you can take random classes to eventually work towards getting a degree. You don't have to be fully committed all at once like at uni.

I think that's true, you can enroll in both of them. Plus the university may have some sort of program tied in with the community college so you can take general education classes there or something. I only transferred credits though ^^;

Should have been more clear in my wording: I meant that both universities and community colleges allow you to go part time. I don't really see universities as requiring more of a commitment from a student than a community college. They mainly want you to give them your money and keep up with your classes if you are on financial aid lol

Yeah, it's all about the money nowadays :/ I think it's very wise to consider knocking gen eds out of the way in a community college first (to save money), although some professional schools require that you take them at a 4-year university.

Yeah, doing lower division classes at a community college is a great way to save money, but it's something to carefully coordinate with the four year universities you are interested in transferring to so you don't get burned later, especially if the universities you are looking at are not in the same state as your community college. For example, it's very easy to get courses from Washington community colleges to transfer to Washington universities, but a student who went to a community college in say New York would have a harder time.

Exactly, you really have to check first. Luckily for me, there's a community college near my hometown and I go to an in-state school so I had no trouble with that :)
