    What’s a four year college. In Europe I believe most bachelors are generally 3 years and a masters is 2 so it’s clearly not the total either. Obviously there’s some fields that are different but I would assume that it isn’t those you are talking about. Is this an American thing?

      Yeah, in the US a standard college education is four years. Although in the last few decades it’s become a lot more common for that four-year program to take five years or more.
