Difference between College and University.

Where I live, College is for people who...

A. Are not smart enough to get into University
B. Cannot afford to go to University (college is cheaper)
C. Want to do something not as mainstream/more practical

This also applies to where I live (ON, Can). It really depends on where you live.

Wikipedia - The precise usage of the term varies among the English-speaking countries. In the United States, for example, the terms 'college' and 'university' may be regarded as loosely interchangeable, whereas in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, a 'college' is usually an institution between school and university level (although constituent schools within universities are also known as 'colleges').
