"junior college" is the old school term for a community college where you get most of your core classes (english, history, you get the idea). you get an associates degree at a community college.
"college" is college. a 4 yr. college is where you get your bachelor's, master's and doctorate degree.

junior college is a term not used very much anymore but its generally used to describe a two year or "community" college. These schools offer associate degrees, basic certificates and advanced certificates. You can attend a junior class to attain a degree that doesnt require extensively advanced training (for example you can be a preschool teacher, teacher assistant) I'm in community college myself to become a dental hygienist.
Some people go to junior college to save money because you can take all your core or prerequisite classes for a serious fraction of the cost than it would if you took them at a major university or college.
Most junior colleges offer more flexible classes, evenings and weekends for example and most DO NOT have dorms or meal plans or sororities and the like.
Hope this helps. :)

Junior college is an old term. It used to be a 2 year college with a terminal Associate's degree. Now we call them 2 year colleges or community colleges.

Junior college is essentially the first two years of college. Regular college is a 4 year institution.
