Isso: Not that I disagree with you, but in Denmark, it's very normal to take a year off after high scool. I haven't meet one person at my university yet who's at my age, because they have all taken a year (or more) off.
A_Schleck: Same plans as me then, although I'm taking the journalist education at Roskilde University. I didn't want to go to neither Aarhus University nor Odense, because I wanted to stay here at Zealand. That said, I think Aarhus' education is the best one available in Denmark.
About the 50 questions test (which is the only one I have had a look at), it was difficult, but as far as I remember, I did quite good 
Anyway, good luck with it all.
Thanks. The difference between the 50 questions test in Odense and Aarhus is that you get 4 options for each question in Aarhus, while in Odense, where I tried you just get a blank slot for each question, which makes it a whole lot more difficult. But it's all about staying up-to-date with what is going on domestically and internationally. I remember there was a question about who the prime minister of England was, I knew it wasn't Blair anymore, and since I had completely forgotten the other guys name, I wrote "The guy who succeeded Tony Blair", at least that's better than writing Tony Blair.
And what kind of common name is Gordon Brown, anyhoo, no way I'd remember that

There's no gap here in Spain between school and college studies, although high grades seem a bit difficult for most students, since a vast majority of the people who enters the University decides to leave it / change their speciality after the first year. This difference between people's attitude after the school period in both Scandinavian countries and mine mut have to do with the difficulty. College's entry exams are sooooo easy here, as well as the last two grades (Bachelor).
Edit: btw. I'm also aiming to become a sports journalist A_Schleck, even though there's no way to get specialized (only an optative subject at 5th - last course).
Very nice, didn't know that that much people in here wanted to become journalists

Are you sure? before the Bologna treaty, Bachelor was the first "step" of college, 2 years in 4 year courses, 3 years in 5 or 6 year courses. Now with the Bologna treaty where it's equal everywhere in the EU, "bachelor" is now named a "degree", and what was named a degree (the 5 or 6 year thing) is now named a master's degree.
Just to make sure I understand.
Damn the EU and it's equality, it's messing up all the names

I've heard that every day at the school can turn out quite different than you though it would and overall it just sounds like it's pretty funny. From how I've understood it, Aarhus is the most schoolish one, where you HAVE TO attend classes and lectures.

Not at all, I'm reffering to the last two school grades, which are named as "Bachelor" ("Bachillerato"). Here we're keeping the former names for the two steps ("First Half" / "Second Half" or "Primer Ciclo" / "Segundo Ciclo") until 2012, when the Bologna treaty will be completely applied on the University studies all over the country. We're the last ones (by far) to get adapted to the new rules.

Sounds true. Anyway, i don't know, i'm just a kid in 8th grade  But my parents both went to Aarhus. Or at least my mother did. |

a-ha, I get it now.
I thought the limit was 2008. 2012 is far, far off 
That's gotta be bad. It doesn't give you any equivalence abroad. Might be a problem if you ever want to get a job in a different country.

Well, we're often called as the "ghost promotion". If we get stucked on a certain grade by chance, then there would be a possibility to make our studies comply with the Bologna standards, and thus turning our credits into ECTS ones.
However, I must say i'd like to make Audiovisual studies after my degree as journalist, so it's very likely I'll have to start all over again.

I suppose so, but you still won't have followed the course structure that you were supposed to. I guess that would be according to the letter of the Bologna treaty, but not according to the spirit of the treaty.

Does that mean you're not aiming to be a journalist?

I'm aiming to have complete journalistic knowledge, not only for written tasks but also to be able to work on radio/TV stations. Besides, I want to get secondary knowledge on basic work requirements (to get a 2nd/3rd foreign language, probably between French, Italian or Dutch to get a place as cycling journalist here or abroad more easily, perfectioning my English and getting high computer knowledge -professional tools and such stuff-). |

Alrighty then  What kind of writing journalist do you aim to be ?
Well, in fact I just want to become a politician, but I will use journalism as a jumping-off point. That's the plan for now - a lot can change

Had I not considered location as an important factor, I would probably have chosen Odense for the same reason as you. On the other hand, I get to mix my main interests here at Roskilde, politics and journalism, so I don't complain.
I haven't heard anything about any of them being particularly "schoolish". Roskilde isn't '"schoolish", and I didn't think any universities were. |

Ah mother, i wonder what you say next

Damn. all those young SF hippies. You can really tell that Demark is the country, with the most alcohol drincing youth.
I could vote anything right for New Alliance. it depends on which election it is. In the EU i will probably vote V or C. Locally prob. C. And nationally prob. DF.
EDIT. Localy i would prob. not vote C in the region as they are supporting S' proposal to cut off Northwestjutland. And i kind of life there, so i don't like that proposal:x

what's wrong with that? it's not like Kadel was an idiot or anything. He's simply been a little too influenced by American media.
Not to mention that for some reason he stopped showing up, sadly.
