英文解释college与university

Although college and university may often be used interchangeably meaning an instituion that offers higher education beyond high school, there is a slight difference between the two. In United States, a university normally provides various degreed programs for undergraduate, graduate and post graduate students. On the other hand, while some of the colleges might also offered a four-year degreed program in undergraduate studies, there are a lot more that offer only a two-year vocational program to those who are eager to go to work in specialized fields.

前者比较倾向于某一科，理工或者文史！后者是那种综合性的大学！

说得俗一点
university 是一本 二本
college 是三本
college的分数线比university低点
实际点说university 是综合型大学 比如浙江大学把农学院 城市学院都并过来了
college 是专业型大学 比如外国语学院 农学院
大学好听 学院难听，很多学院都恨不得申请成为大学
这是大势所趋 所以大学生毕业就只会打游戏睡觉。
真不如去学院好好学学专业 甚至去技校学手艺

college是专科学校。university是本科学校。
