Most universities are either state colleges or private. A private is generally ran by the funds they get from their alumni and tuition, while a state college is ran by the money they receive from the government. Most private colleges are smaller and do not offer as many majors. Private schools are also more expensive.
Hope this helps

A private college is funded privately, a public college is funded by the taxpaying public. Tuition will be a lot more at most private colleges. Admission might or might not be more difficult. Some public colleges and universities are required to admit a segment of the population. For example, last time I checked, University of California had to offer spaces to the top 10% of students graduating from public high schools in California. Remember that private universities may have a lot of financial aid available, so apply where you want to do and try to get financial aid if you qualify.

Unless it is Ivy league, nothing but the price of tuition.
