Kill me now!

Am looking at US colleges for PhD. UC Berkeley looking good.

Kill me now.

Not going to kill you. Certainly not going to do that. But... another friend who was looking at US universities for PhD discovered that due to US undergraduates not specialising to the extent that UK undergrads did, it would take her seven years to do in the States the same thing that would take her four years to do in the UK, and she'd spend the first few years re-learning things she'd already done that the Americans hadn't done yet. Is this not the case with the subject you'd be taking?

Possibly. In some instances, I think there's the option to bypass the extraneous stuff. I'm sure they must be use to British students coming over. Or maybe I can start here and transfer? I don't know.

GAH! KILL ME NAO.
