College Versus University

I haven’t mention that I do conversational phone English.  Yes, I get paid to do something I love to do, talk on the phone.  I talk with two ladies both about my age, and three young teens, ages 12, 12 & 13.  I have been doing this for a few weeks now, and I really look forward to my phone calls.  Even the kids are fun to talk to, which at first I thought would be very painful, because let’s face it, 12 & 13 year olds are not very easy to talk to, sometimes it is downright painful trying to have a conversation with them (I know this because I have a 12 year old of my own), then throw in English as their second language and I really thought I was in trouble. 

Anyway, back to the topic at hand, college vs. university.  I was speaking with one of the ladies I talk to each night and found out that in Korea there is a difference.  A college is a 2 year school that gets you ready for a job; if I understood correctly, it is a technical school.  A university is a 4 year school that focuses on studies, a place where you get a degree.  This is a great little fact to know, it may never come up while living here, but if it does, I will know the difference.

Molly, I try calling you all the time, when are you home? Am I going to have to wake up in the middle of the night to talk with you?

    Proud Army wife and mother to 4 wonderful children.  I love to cook, travel, work out and scrapbook life’s adventures when I find the time.  We just got orders & are heading back to the states in March 2010.  I'm bummed that our time has been cut short, but proud of Hubby for the reason why.
