I feel bad arguing over this, as this is of relatively little importance, but on your statement that med school is 8 years after undergrad...

the "med school" part only takes 4 years. After that, you are out of med school - no more schooling besides Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits.

The statement that residencies are generally 4 years is a gross generalization. It depends entirely upon your area of specialization. I am going into family medicine, which has a 3 year residency. Many areas of surgical specialty take 6 years. It varies. Most doctors have residencies that last 3 years.

Again, I feel bad about arguing over something so unimportant in the grand scheme. I don't mean to seem like a bully or anything.

Have a great day!

Actually, a University is a collection of colleges and school. For instance, I go to Loyola University. Within the University there is the College of Arts and Sciences, the school of Business Administration, the school of Education..and so on. So, a university is actually bigger than a college.

Yes, A university is MUCH bigger than a college. There's 4000 students enrolled at my college, meanwhile there's 15000 enrolled at the nearest university.

Over here, we use years. I'm a first year student.

In high school it was grades, 9-OAC(13)

Additionally, colleges do not have graduate courses, as that would take another school.

I have to beg to differ on that point. I went to a college that had graduate courses, and it was just a college, not a university.

Oops! Sorry about that! Looks like I messed up.
