Not much to be honest, in 6th form you can stay in your own school, but you have to travel to a place somewhere else at college and in 6th form if you earn under a certain wage you get paid!!!!!!woohoo
But you dont at college

You will probably find that both offer a similar range of subjects, but 6th form tends to be the "safer" option. You're with a lot of the people you've been with right through school and you'll find that you might have a lot of the same teachers you had through school. They say that they'll treat you like adults but it doesn't feel that way at all.
College is the opposite of that. You're treated as an adult, you will meet with a wide range of new people of all ages (6th form is restricted to just your age group). I think that you learn a lot more about life from going to college. Another noticeable difference is that you tend to call the lecturers by their first names rather than just Mr / Mrs x.
I'd choose college any day.

A Sixth Form College is where students go immediately after they finish secondary school to do A-Levels, AS Levels or GNVQ's.
An ordinary college is where students of any age can do a far wider range of courses, subjects and at both full and part time hours. You generally go to Sixth Form straight after school but anyone can go to College at any stage in their life after finishing school.

6th Form only accepts students between 16 and 18 to do A-levels and a few GNVQs on a full time basis for 2 years.
College accepts anyone over the age of 16 until they die, to do GCSEs, A-levels, NVQs, job specifc courses and loads of other full/part time courses.

I don't think there's any real difference. I went to a sixth form and it wasn't part of a school, it was a separate college. There were also students on my courses who were older than 18 and we also called lecturers by their first names.

6th form is last year of school, usully retakes of exams so that they can get into college/uni... colleges n unis require minimum exam results, some people dont get those results and need to retake so they can enter college/uni
