1) When you finish high school do you go to University or college?
2) Is is dorms or halls you live in?
3) does the word dorm refer to your room or the building. If room what do you call the building?
4) how does the whole frat houses thing work?
Ta very muchly | Well I think I can answer 3 of the 4 for you...
1) It can be either here in the states... Colleges are typically smaller versions of Universities... I have gone to both, and that was the biggest thing I noticed. Lots more people/students at universities...
2) Again, could be both... I think I knew them as dorms, though some of the names of the dorms were like "Striker Hall" for example...
3) To me, the phrase 'dorm' means the building. The individual residences within are the 'rooms'
4) The whole frat thing is alien to me, so hopefully someone else can help you there...
Have fun w/ your fic! __________________ Still numb with shock after Dexter's finale.... |
