Skipping college and going straight to university ?

Question

Skipping college and going straight to university ... what benefits do you get from this ? disadvantages ? time period shorter or longer ? faster ? slower ?

what do you have to have in order to do that ?

Answer 1

College and University is basically the same. After highschool you can either go to a college or university.

To get a degree you need 4 years of school.


I think you are thinking about a Masters degree. You go to college/university for 4 years and get your bachelors degree. Then you will go for 1 to 3 years more for your Masters. That is when you would more likely change schools. Like if you wanted to be a doctor you would go to one school for your bachelor degree then to a highly ranked school to get your Master degree in medicine.

Answer 2

In Britain and some other countries there is a difference between "college" and "university" but in the USA the two words are used interchangeably. Technically, in the USA, a university is an institution that consists of several colleges - a liberal arts college, an engineering college, a nursing college, etc. with a graduate school that gives Masters and Doctoral level degrees. But in everyday use, the words are used the same in the USA. A kid going off to Harvard University would say that he was "going to college"

Answer 3

You dont need to go to college before you go to a university, acutally they are basically the same thing. A college offers majors, while a university is separated into different schools(such as Business, Science, and so on) and you get your degree from one of the specific schools.

Answer 4

better to go to the collage first and then the university it's seem to me that collages is the first step in making your career to a good start.
