I READ the article about American colleges of the liberal arts and sciences (StarEducation, Aug 16) with interest and would like to offer some comments.
In the United States, a university is like a bunch of colleges stuck together. Even if you go to Harvard, Princeton or Yale, as an undergraduate you will probably be registered under the university’s college of the liberal arts and sciences. In general, undergraduate institutions are referred to as “liberal arts colleges” and going for your first degree is referred to as “going to college”
