I believe in America the first year of college allows you to try different subjects and modules before deciding on a major. While there are advantages and disadvantages to an 'extra' year at college, a 3 year degree definitely is doable: certainly my American friends do not look down on a UK degree as any less 'work'.

All he would've had to do is take 1 extra class during the previous year. At the time I think he had no idea about how large his debt situation was, but I'm sure he regrets it now. If you can even cut your college time by 1/2 a year it's worth the savings. Great post!
