A university is much bigger with more students and it's usually divided into separate colleges within; while a college is much smaller with fewer students and there are no more divisions within. Hope it helps!

an clloege education is more about learning how to think than preparing for a job. I recommend a christian college where everyone believe in God. Best success to you!

a closed university is more commonly called "closed campus" - basically a college with its own "campus."\n\nMost universities are closed. Some are not such as NYU and many other campuses in the heart of big cities.

Each of the top universities has their own personality.  You need to visit each one and spend some time there to see the differences.  Some are in great cities (Harvard and MIT, for example), others are not.\n\nCollege is what you make it.  You can get the equivalent of an Ivy League education at a state school if you so choose.  In many cases, it is the networks that you form at college that help support you throughout your life.\n\nAll colleges have programs to help low-income families.  Many of the top schools will pay all of your educational costs if you can meet their admissions criteria.

The primary purpose of a college is to teach undergraduate courses, leading to a two-year (usually by a community college) or four-year degree, although if they get permission from their regional accrediting association, they can offer a few master's degrees.\n\nUniversities always offer some programs above the bachelor's degree level. Some offer only master's degrees but the large well-known universities offer doctoral degrees as well.\n\nUniversities are organized by schools, so you not only apply to the university but you also apply to the school, such as the School of Computing, School of Liberal Arts, etc.\n\ns

I don't think there is much of a difference between them. I do know however, that San Jose State University is a VERY good engineering school. It's right in the center of Silicon Valley too , so it's easy to get a job after.

No, not necessarily.  There are many similarities (both usually offer 2 year degrees) but they are not the same type of school.  \n\nA community college is a college administered by the state or local government.  These schools are usually open to the public, as long as you can pay the tuition.  \n\nThere are private junior colleges however, that are administered by churches or other private institutions.  Getting into these schools is more difficult because you have to meet their criteria (for example, living a certain religious lifestyle).

As far as I understand professors may teach at colleges but not being taught at them. If they are taught then they are taught at some further education courses at some Universities.

i don't think there's a big difference between the two, the only difference is that applied associate degree have more units in comparison to associate degree. which means that the applied associate degree last longer than the associate degree.

A degree is a piece of paper. To think it is much more than that is foolhardy. What is important is what you did to get that piece of paper.\n\nA degree is supposed to show another person that you know something. Whether or not they believe it is a totally different thing. Someone here in the U.S. may not acknowledge a degree from an American College.\n\nWhat matters then is reputation. A Harvard degree generally has more of a reputation than a University of Nevada at Reno degree, even though in some fields of study UNR may be better than Harvard.\n\nBasically, it all boils down to who you are talking to. Generally speaking, from what I have seen, degrees are universal, because knowledge is universal. Some subjects may not be transferable because of language issues, but those are the exceptions, not the rule.

Community colleges are run under the auspices of some level of local government, usually city or county. Junior colleges may be private colleges. Both lead to associates degrees. Both cost money, although community colleges would be more affordable. Some students may qualify for full scholarships, but you would have to check with the specific college to see if you would qualify.

College choices depend on what your intended major is.  Some schools are better known for specific programs.

The 2 yr, 4 yr answer is not right.  A college will usually have only one campus and not offer PhD. programs.  A university will have more than one campus (usually) and will offer PhD. programs.
