　　Full-time university students spend all their time studying. They don’t do other work. Their course usually lasts for three or four years. Medical students have to follow a course lasting for six or seven years. Then they graduate as doctor. In Britain, full-time university students have three terms of about ten weeks in each year. During these terms they go to lectures or they study by themselves. Their vacations are long, but of course they can use them to study at home.

　　Some universities, like Oxford and Cambridge in England, are residential. This means that during the university terms the students live in universities.
