So in America I need a fake ID when I want booze?
America is fucking lame.

I'd say that just proves that the people who check ID in those bars were either lazy or racist. On the other hand, they were the ones getting snuck past by people with fake IDs. So who's the winner?
I think the main difference between US and UK college/universities is that over here in the UK, you choose a subject before you go and stick with it for three years, usually. I'm about to start applying for entry in 2009 for a Law degree and it seems scary and really hard. I have to get it all done before October 15th if I want to apply to Cambridge, although all other universities except Oxford are much more sensible and their deadline is in January.

Man, you should've added that into your calculations when you decided to stay.

This is basically true, although the horror stories I sometimes hear from people in more demanding programs would suggest that there are exceptions to the easy-to-pass rule (ex: medical school). I just graduated but I did it with a cumulative 2.4 GPA because I didn't do any more than the bare minimum of work in most of my classes.
