This Is How Different University Is In America Vs Australia
Australians can legally drink from 18 while Americans have to wait until 21.
In Australia, it's called university, or uni for short.
In America, undergraduate degrees are usually four years long, and students don't decide on a major until their second or third year.
Freshmen and sophomores are required to do broad subjects - including things like science and physical education.
In Australia, you apply for a specific, specialised degree, and generally have to choose a major in the first year.
While first year students may still do broad subjects, they generally relate to their degree in some way. And undergraduate degrees typically last three years.
