Message: Degrees from Oxford and Cambridge, two of the most prestigious undergraduate institutions in the world, are 3-year. Don't sweat it. The only reason US universities have 4-year degrees is that their students spend the first year deciding what they want to do, whereas at a British university you are expected to know what you want to do before you arrive, and concentrate on it from day 1.
