I'm liking your favorite animes and characters (= ooh and I also enjoyed reading your Nana review. :0 keep doing the great job~!

Believe it or not, that is Bella and Edward from Twilight. I got it off Pixiv. The artist is Nardack. Glad you like it. ^^ I really like the artist's other works too.

We have free health care in Canada as well. Slow and inefficient free health care, but free nonetheless. Though stuff like prescription drugs, vison care, and dental care are not covered so most people (who can afford it) have private health insurance to supplement the free health care. We certainly don't pay anything for doctor's appointments, emergency room visits or stays in a hospital though.

Your school is so CHEAP! @_@
You should inform those people that complain that many students in Canada pay up to and over $15,000 (9,653.32 EUR) a YEAR for their education, depending on their program and school. It can be a lot more than that too! $15,000 (and more) was how much my combined tuition, fees, books, and approximate bare bones living costs would have been at the University of British Columbia (one of the biggest and best schools in Canada) had I gone there. As it stands, I'm paying $2600 (1,672.55 EUR) for my tuition just this semester, and about the same next semester. So my tuition for a year (not including the cost of books, rent, and living expenses) is over $5200 ( 3,345.09 EUR). Pretty good, by our standards. XD

And tuition costs are rising across the country! This is due to something like a non-progressive tax scheme which has lead to public institutions gradually having to rely more on private funding, causing education costs to skyrocket.

Because my parents can't afford to fund my education, I've had to take out student loans from the government to fund myself too. There aren't very many scholarships or bursaries (basically free money for students awarded based on academic achievement and financial need) I'm eligible for. By the end of my education I'll owe the Canadian government something like $50,000. ;_;

No, we call it a "major" because it's what the majority of your field of study is, or your main area of study is another way to say it, and what your degree is for. A minor is a secondary field of study that you happen to have the credits for. There weren't always minors and they were named thus because "minor" is the opposite of "major," and you can't really do a minor with every major, and most people don't even try. There's actually a lot of programs just like the one you described. You have a set group of courses you need to take to have the credits for your degree, and often there is no room for a secondary field of study. Even in my program, most of my courses I *have* to take to get my degree and I have little time (well, non really, but I'm trying) for a secondary field.

For example, I know for a fact that the nursing program here is exactly the same as yours. You sign up for the program and are automatically enrolled in a certain group of courses (they're all nursing-related, probably like your program but split into different blocks) that lead to a general certificate, I believe. My sister's program, which was environmental planning, was the same way. Also direct career programs like aviation have the same set up.

If you came here and did a Nursing program, it would be a lot like the nursing program in your home country.

I watched it almost immediately after you told me its name. I really loved it. I wish it ended a little differently, but I still think it was a 10!

Oh, I heard about that one! I definitely need to see it!

What series is in your signature, if I can ask? :)
