I keep thinking college is the same as our university. You go after high school and for the same reason. Then I read these threads and realise that they are not the same. No help really.
Why differences have you detected? I have no idea! They still sounded like the same things to me.
That is an interesting list, but it is for world-ranked universities, so doesn’t include colleges or smaller universities
For those of us in other countries that believed that your "college" = our "university" (which I have always believed), this comment suggests that you have both colleges and universities and that leaves me wondering what IS college? An extra 4 years of boarding school after highschool but before university?
There was another post with a particular emphasis that also seemed to suggest college was not equal to university... but now that I am replying I can't see the thread to find it.
