5. U.S.LIFE
In their last year of high school, students often apply to more than one college or university. A university is larger than a college. In fact, most universities have an undergraduate school and graduate schools in different fields such as law, engineering, and art. Each college or university in the U.S. has its own requirements for admission. Most schools require students to take a standard entrance exam. To decide whether or not to accept a student, colleges or universities usually consider the test scores as well as the student’s high-school grades. In addition, some schools require a personal interview. Many students choose to go away from home and to live at college. Other students attend a state or local school and continue to live at home.
