Samizdata explains the path to a university degree for those "across the pond." It's not pretty... it involves slums, pot, and FCUK t-shirts. The way they make it out to be, it makes dealing with SAT Prep, FAFSA forms, College Board Bureaucrats and the kneecap-breakers seem easy by comparison. (Though the part about parents divorcing to get their kids financial aid is something not unheard of here.) Plus, we kids don't get to get stoned while we do our admissions essays.
