[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really you should compare the last two years at HYP to Oxbridge. The high school systems are also different.[/quote] True, in America the liberal arts curriculum is done in the first two years of college, while in Britain and Europe you generally take care of that in high school. [/quote]A levels are also focused in one's area of future study, and GCSEs are not college level liberal arts classes.[/quote] Most A-level students take 3 courses in the equivalent of 11th grade, and the same exact 3 courses their final year. They are very, very narrow — and will never have taken a liberal arts curriculum. Americans, for better or worse, have a liberal arts curriculum two times over. And they spend 4 years in undergrad — and Brits spend only 3.[/quote]
