In Canada, college is like a pre-uni or another year of highschool. If we can trust my sister that is. |
Depends where. In Quebec colleges are known as CEGEPs and those are pre-university schools you take for 2 years. In turn, university would end a year faster than most other places. How it works is usually:
Primary (Grade 1-6) You'd be about 12 years old when you graduate.
Secondary (Grade 7-11) You'd be around 17 years old normally.
CEGEP/Pre-University (2 years) 19
University (3 Years for a Bachelors/Undergraduate) 22
So everything takes about the same time as the US.
On a side note I'm studying in university and it's the first time I really have to apply myself and coming to school on days off (and weekends) to get stuff done. I don't find the workload particularly hard, it's just that there's so much of it and procrastinating is becoming more and more impossible (haha, life of a slacker). At this rate I doubt I'll be able to finish my program on time considering they're asking me to take summer classes and I have to work full time at the time to afford my tuition.
Do I miss High School? Eh, it was alright towards the end (middle school is the worst seeing as everyone is so insecure and immature). But all my good friends I've made during those years I still hang out regularly so that's what matters.
