Amethyst, I totally disagree with your dumb statement you made. I even feel like you as a new pathetic alien just entering U.S. You don't know how hard it is to go through the undergraduate life and graduate with a degree. Undergraduate courses are tougher, and career oriented while graduate is project oriented. Moreover, for students like us who has no option other than to work to support our life and school for four years is definitely a uphill task rather than 2 years. I've been here for 4 years and will be graduating within a year. I can't measure nor explain how much I've struggled to come over to this stage. If you've got some relatives living than it won't be hard than it was supposed to be. On the other hand, graduate program requires 62 credits which can be completed within 2 years or 2 1/2 yrs whereas it takes almost 5 years to get a degree. Supporting you and your college expenses for 5 yrars is not a joke . I wouldn't say undergrad is 1000 times but atleast double tougher than graduate program. But I don't regret that I came here for undergraduate program because I've learned a lot including pain,sorrow, hatredness and patience. I feel proud myself that I've came to this stage myself and will be the happiest man the day I will wear the graduation cap. ASTALAVISTA SIRUS
