No, a college and a university aren't the same thing, however the general education in one is as good as the other. A university generally is several colleges rolled into one, but still maintaining the schools associated with a college. For example, a college of art could have only a school of arts; a liberal arts college could have only a college of liberal arts. A university could then be made by combining under one roof a college of arts and a college of liberal arts.

we use the generic term college to describe the experience of higher ed. But generally speaking, colleges (LeMoyne College, The College of the Holy Cross, Fitchburg State College) do not offer as many programs as a university with many different colleges, or offer very few graduate programs. I went to Fordham University but graduated from Fordham College of Arts and Sciences as opposed to the College of Business Administration.

Even though we use often use the words interchangeably, I consider them two different things. To me, a college is a little smaller then a university and often offers specialized trade degrees or just Bachelors. A university is larger, has more degree options, plus often has post grad options

A college teaches one discipline. For example, business, or education. A university is a collection of colleges. In other words, a university will have a college of business, a college of science, a college of educations, and so on.

Yes. A college is made up of departments, where a University is made up of schools.

No. Colleges are usually smaller and tend to be private. Universities tend to be set up more as public schools and have many more students.

In the US, it's close to the same thing. In the UK, it's very different.
