Colleges offer a less mainstream educational experience than universities. There, you're likely to find smaller student populations and more intimate campuses with fewer program offerings that focus on-tic or in-depth curriculum for each major subject area instead of breadth across many disciplines as is seen at most state school systems (i). For example, one college might have only four different majors while another has thirty. Colleges are often smaller, more intimate communities that offer students the chance to work closely with a professor on campus. These colleges also provide many programs not found at universities and may have religious affiliations like other schools of higher learning do.
