An interesting fact:
The most common college degree is a bachelor of arts, or a B.A., degree. This degree usually requires four years of study. During the first two years, a student often takes liberal arts courses to receive a general education. Liberal arts courses include the study of literature, languages, and history. Then, in the last two years of college, a student focuses on a major subject, his or her specialization.

Really? What did hey say? Will you get into the school? |

Well, they didn’t say anything for sure. [joking] But I figure that with my grades and with my personality, I’ll have no problem. |
|
Robbie: |
Columbia’s terrific school. What are you going to do? |
|
Mike: |
Do? I don’t know. I also applied to NYU. |
|
Robbie: |
You sound excited about Columbia. What’s your problem, Mike? |
