In today's episode, we have a fun and in depth conversation about our experiences in University between USA and Japan. We compare everything from living situation, tuition, social life, and more! [FYI] there are two parts in the episode I (Sakura) would like to clarify: 1, When I mentioned the word "pre-game," the word I actually meant to use is "Tailgate." 2, The actual main difference between community college vs (4-year) University is that community colleges offer an Associate's degree which can be completed in 2 years. While it is common for students to attend CC for a few years to save money due to the drastically lower cost, they typically do so as they are able to take accredited courses to transfer into a four-year degree at universities.
