Only three years for university? How interesting. Four years or the equivalent stretched out over more time if attending part-time has been the standard in the US for a long time.
However, change is a-comin' to US post-secondary education. As tuition climbs ever higher and graduates leave with more and more student loan debt (me included: paid off the last of my college loans in my 30s, but I'll be paying off the loans for my master's thesis project until I'm 71), questions about both the costs and the value of what they're getting for that money have reached the level of public discussion in popular media. I think uni in the US will look quite different within the next decade.
