We became friends through similar interests , and then we dated . <| sep |> I ' m not going to look this time . Not even once . <| sep |> Ok sorry not interested <| sep |> In Norway but with official translations to English , we have Universities , and University Colleges to avoid confusion with lowerlevel institutions around the world . The former are research and discipline based , the latter are professionally oriented . They both offer the same levels of education , and neither is seen as better , just different . If you want to study physics , sociology , linguistics , literature , etc , you ' d go to a university , if you want to study engineering , nursing , teaching , etc , you ' d got a university college . Medicine and clinical psychology being common exceptions . Okay , nevermind all that , because a few years ago , some stupid government decided , that with enough PhD programs , you got to call yourself a university , so it suddenly became status , and now everyone and their mother wants the title , so Norway has gone from having 4 universities to like , 9 or something .
