Is that because they are slower on the uptake 😛

They waste a few years doing a 'minor' degree which usually involves studying irrelevent subjects that are nothing to do with their actual degree or 'major' as it is known.
At least that is what I could gather from talking to a girl I knew there.

We have 3 year degrees in the US. They're called Associate Degrees. These are for those that want to learn their major without wasting time and money on all the worthless courses. They want to get their education, get out of school and get a job. Unlike some four year students who look at college as a second womb.

Now that you mention it, I was talking my mum about this earlier, she mentioned that the uni I'm at now would probably try and put you off from moving unis, as this would take away money from them, and so they'd probably make it as difficult as possible.

edit: maybe that line of thought is a bit exaggerated though.
Go to the 'new' university and ask them about it - if they have a similar degree they may give you credit for subjects passed at the current school. Some will even only credit you if you made a specific grade in subjects they have.
Go ASAP to find out if you need to study/party harder the rest of the time.

For my honours degree, the correspondence varsity I finished at only gave me credit for 2 subjects I passed at the old varsity.

I just got an email back from them, the email basically said no bugger off; the applications go via ucas, not that you'd know of it, but that's what I did before. They also apparently 'filled their quota', which is another way of saying enough people stayed on the course, they also don't allow admissions directly into year 2, only year 1, and that they'd be quite me applying for that in 2010.
Screw that. 😕
