university vs college definition
In general, a college is an institution of higher education that may stand alone or make up one part of a university. There may be several colleges that cater to a variety of specialized professions in law, medicine, the liberal arts, etc. on a single university's campus.
A university (Latin: universitas, a whole) is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which grants academic degrees in various subjects and typically provides undergraduate education and postgraduate education.
