She means University of California and California State University. In colorado it is called CU and CSU.
The difference is the prestige of your degree which will reflect forever when you apply for a job position. All the UC's rank on the top 100 nationally and in the top 25 public universities, while the top CSU doesn't rank in 100 nationally. If given the opportunity to go to a UC, it is better than any CSU simply for reputation purposes and being more competitive for graduate school.

I'm going to assume you mean CSU=Cal State University and UC=University of California. The biggest difference is the level of expectations in the programs. The UCs are bigger schools, generating much more in the way of research and thus attract many more talent researchers than the CSUs (that's not to say the CSUs are bad, just that the UCs are stronger). If you were an A/B student in high school (and in California), then a UC would be what I recommend, whereas if you were a B/C student I'd recommend a CSU (or a community college); this of course is assuming that you don't have interest in a particular program that only one of these schools have.
