What was the best thing about the college/university you attended?
What's with the bizarrely intense music?
Why does this only have 12 likes on my screen??

Definitely university
But they have similarities, *student loans*
Today I learned that the US student loans has reached 3 trillion dollars. And I still can't believe that 2 students only are in debts.
Damn I felt that you don’t even know
Well, not in germany
And socialist zombies with safe spaces. Meanwhile my safe space at my university was my bed room, bathroom, and cafe.
Of course, bc Student Loans (financial aid)is given to any qualified school, including trade and online schools in the U.S.
College= School. University = Many Schools within a school.
That definition fits the UK universities.
Except for places like Dartmouth College.. which is really a University by that definition, but is still named College.
It actually applies to India (with exceptions of course)
that definition also fits the Philippines uni
Hahaha indeed. In our university there is alot of school from grade school to college. 😂
I saw a news report about 2 people who robbed 10,000 dollars worth of course books from a university's library. I just hope they returned those 2 books.
What
Did you not get the joke?
*OOF*
At first i didn't get it but then... *I REALIZED*
No I didnt
I’ve always thought they were the same lol
College is 2 year. Univ is 2+ year
same
chrisnosavage doesn’t matter, A students work for C students so school doesn’t matter. It’s all about business which r C students
yea but the A students are the only ones who bring progression and advancement in society
The Notorious business runs the world, makes sense
What kind of sick joke is this.. This needs the age restriction filters on it. School is awful and very innapropriate. Im truly offended
ok
Ok.
ok
I'm missing the joke unfortunately 😢
Ok
_Please don't make videos on very dark and negative topic like this_
U drunk bro?
ROCKY. C. S no, he just finds this topic really not fun and sarcastically remarks it as very dark .
@@rocky.c.s r/wooosh
What do you want to refer about " very dark" sorry i am beginner in english.
loc dog he’s making a joke
Dramatic music for a dark topic. Quite fitting.
hahaha... 😀
So basically, *university > college*
aurel In France à university contains multiple college, “facs”
Mapa de ribersade
University is a scam 😂
Thx
@Ally Lean S U R E, buddy, how about u try going to one urself, then talk
One huge difference that you missed is that universities tend to focus on research ("publish or perish") while colleges tend to focus on teaching. One result of this is while college classes tend to be smaller and taught by an "instructor" with years of experience teaching, university undergraduate classes tend to huge (200+) lead by a professor with little or no interest in undergraduate courses with much (if not most) of the teaching being done by graduate teaching assistants with no training in teaching.
2:32!
Thank you. This is the kind of advice I need. Do you have any more?
As a middle aged Canadian, I can confidently say we don NOT use these terms interchangeably. College is Vocational Training. You go to college to get specific training for a job. University is held in higher regard. University teaches you to think critically. What you do with that skill is up to you.
community college makes you seem broke when in reality you’re less broke
I always always thought collage was the cheaper version of a university;-;
Yep. I like college alot. MS in two program and... You were spending 1/6 of univ prices.
;_;
collages are much cheaper and also fun to make
I like collages more than universities.
College is more specific I always thought. There are many universities and some of them are divided into colleges such as college of business, college of nursing, so on and so on
As a general rule guys. Community colleges are for 2 years and you can finish in another 2 years in University to get a bachelor. University are 4+ years however college can be substituted for 2 years. These univ colleges are not community colleges. Community college was 1/6 the price with better education IMO than University first 2 years. I'd suggest community college than University... Unless you are fully paid to go to university. Ive finished graduate school and honestly liked community college more. Cheers.
Thanks! Using Community College as my stepping stone starting tommorow :)
@@InvalidPersistentName All the best!
Damn True. Community College 2 years >> University first 2 years. Better Education, fun and cheaper too. I was gonna join university directly but someone suggested me and I did some research as well.
Ishan Wish for the best!
Forte Astro did your credits transfer? Because I'm worried about when i finish high school i want my credits to transfer from college to university
Here in Canada, school is vastly different from the U.S and what this video said about it being similar to the U.K. At 17/18 you graduate high school and usually would have already applied to a post-secondary institution about a year before you actually start. For most programs, getting in is based on your grades and classes you took in high school (i.e you need a C-college or U-uni level high school course such as English or biology to get into the corresponding institution) so you need to make up your mind about the type of career you want, early high school in order to gain these credits. University is more for academic/STEM types of careers, while college is more "hands on". Here, college can have trades programs and/or have programs intertwined with a local university, so you can be taking classes at a college and a university (or do 2 years at one and 2 at another). As for jobs, well personally most jobs i've been seeking out require a 2 or 3-year college degree for an entry-level graphic designer job (and there are plenty available, many with starting salaries double than what i paid for tuition, which was technically free since i'm low income) My full 3 year tuition is about $15,000. And that's one of the more expensive programs my school offers, many are just under $10,000 for 2 years. In college, you can get a diploma or advanced diploma. In university, you can get an undergrad degree, bachelors, ect. it all depends on the type of job you want in life, he skills you currently have & if you're prepared to enter that job.
Either way you still end up with 100k Student Debt and no Job!
Wild Pear fr. Waste of time and money
Speak for yourself, I go to Community College and have 0 debt thanks to scholarships.
Unless you live in the UK hehe
Wakaziar community college is like high school 2.
Not if you join the national guard/reserve
In French "collège" is I believe what people from the US call middle school.
So secondary school?? (England)
It would be high school in America. We have elementary, middle school, high school, college
Well nope
And some places say Junior High instead of Middle School.
Collège = middle school/junior high Grande école = college Lycée = high school Université = umiversity. Note that "grande école" literally translates to "high school", just to add a bit more confusion.
I knew they were different and you did a fantastic job at highlighting the differences.
Thanks for making this video as I’m applying to university, it’s been a big help.
I'm glad it helped you!
Oml thank u so much for clearing this out for me😌, i was always so confused about the difference of both or if they were even the same thing😃
You're welcome!
@@TheInfographicsShow omg thank you so much for seeing my comment, but i seriously do appreciate you clarifying this for me and others😃☺
Tuition cost is a HUGE difference! Example: My first semester was in the fall of 1999. (Yes, I'm old.) The private university I had wanted to attend was charging around $250 per credit hour. The branch campus of the junior college I ended up attending was a little less than $80 per credit hour. Also, I later found out that a lot of the instructors I had at the junior college also taught the exact same classes at the larger universities in the area. So, at least with a couple of my classes, I got a private university quality education at a community college price. Also, not only do colleges have smaller student bodies than larger universities, but the classes themselves are also smaller. At the junior college, my largest class had 40 students. My smallest class had maybe 5 students. When I transferred to a small university, all of my classes had around 35 students. And, my friends at the private university I had originally wanted to attend said some of their classes could have 80 students or more. In smaller classes, the instructors can work with each individual student to make sure they learn and understand the material. In the really large classes, I've been told that the instructors will never even acknowledge your existence. They come in, they lecture, and then they leave. Homework and exams are handled by teaching assistants. And, if you need help with the material, you'll just have to find a tutor or join a study group.
Universities are generally more expensive than colleges. You can get a good or bad education regardless where you go. There you go, give me a 👍
As a junior in high school I appreciate this video a lot. Looked it up on google once but the answer wasn’t clear and ended up just discarding it. As I got mail I noticed Universities are larger. Thanks for the video!
In Scotland our educational system is different from England's. We just finish highschool at the age of 16-18 (Your allowed to leave high school at 16). Then after high school we can go into higher education like collage or uni. Good thing is we dont have to pay a single penny to go to collage or uni.
Ahaha I was looking for a Scottish comment to see if I should or shouldn't bother saying that we're different 😂
I’m planning on going to college after high school, it’s my senior year, wish me luck 😄
You're wasting your time and money.
@@theeasybeginning664 At least he's not a junkie.
Same here. Good luck!
Toast & Soup thank you so much and now I’m wasting my time and money, I think getting a education is important you think
Cameron Cole thank you so much 😄
I was given some great advice when choosing what college or university I want to go to. In general, all universities and colleges are the same, you get the same teachings as you would get in any other institution. What differentiates is the reputation, Harvard is known to be the best of the best, while in New York City (which is known for its CUNY system) a notable college is Hunter College. Also, students would go to a university in order to get the full "college life", however colleges do offer the same thing.
Needed this understanding
Please mKe a video of why university cost an arm and a leg
Latin Ace The Infographics Show This Channel *MAY* do a video on that suggested topic, Although most likely you're better off asking Adam Conover from Adam ruins Everything series on KZhead to make a video about that. ℹ 😀 👍 🏣 🏛 💰⁉️
It might also cost a duck and a vagina.
Because money.
Because they love money
In my country if you want to do something with psychology you can either go to College: learning applied psychology (3 years) for a bachelor. (After you are a psychologist consultant) Or go to University: learning psychology (5 years) for a master (after that you are an psychologists)
In Zimbabwe A college is synonymous with Highschool. They offer (2 years) Advanced Level and (4years) Odinary Level certificates for the most part. Both certificates are high school certificates offered to Kids between 13 and 18 years usually Universities offer 4year undergraduate Degree's and 2-5years Post graduate degree's Masters, PHD etc and Universities are 50 - 100 times larger than colleges. We have Polytechnics that offer Diplomas and certificates in 2- 4years
I heard that Mugabe made it possible for people with PhD's to be jobless.
I love watching this channel on long car rides or while eating. Very interesting.
This was super informational. Thanks.
I tour 2 universities and its very big and spaced out so it feels very impersonal and easy to blend in the background with so many students . I also toured 3 community colleges , and they feel big enough to where you have space but small enough to where you can be recognized and given proper credit/recognition.
I thought this was Bright Side for a second
Prydwen bright side sucks
nah this is much better
Thank you i be waiting for a videos like this.
You guys just made a video about enrollment and salary of university and college ! I was not expecting that.
Some universities here in philippines have pre-school, elementary, high school, then college (can be undergrad or grad). I graduated senior high in a university. I've always thought that's how universities work, until I entered the internet 😂
In Sweden, we call collages ”hög skola” which translates to high school... and what you call high school we call “gymnasium”.
There's also Vocational College and Apprentice Programs --- which lead to careers in trades. Going rate for most independent contractor tradesman is 100k-300k a year or 50-150 an hour. Examples - plumbing, electric, hvac, elevators, car mechanics, pipefitters, steel workers...
Here in the UK, after you finish secondary school (grades 7-11) you go to college for the academic route in life. Here you do 2 year courses in A levels, which can be in any subject you choose, though since they sre very work intensive people tend to do 4 at most. I did full A levels in History, Sociokogy and Classical Civilisation and a one year course (AS level) in Archaeology. University is after this, which gives degrees. The terms aren't used interchangeably here as the two are very different types of institution
Everyone: complains about how much they both cost Me: *Laughs in UK*
Can you tell me if its really that terrifying. I have some thoughts on moving to uk and now Im scared 😭
In the UK, you go to school till year 11- get your GCSE's. Than go to sixth form college (2 years)- get your A level's than finally go to university to get your undergraduate degree or masters.
Thanks for this vedio i been wanting it from ages
Glad you liked it!
I miss the original voice.
Has it changed permanently?
@@GobsAlmightyVlogs no
@@GobsAlmightyVlogs they interchange between videos
He died
@@itslael472 no he didn't. He got ligma but is still alive
I thought “university” just meant it has Dorm rooms, and colleges don’t.
you guys could make a video about the different types of degrees from Associate to PhD regarding their education and evaluation process and the type of jobs that sets them as requirements.
You forgot to mention that in the United States there are also Art Colleges for study in painting, drawing, animation, photography and film as well as technical colleges that offer study in welding, HVAC, refrigeration, and nursing. Art colleges can offer a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts and Associate’s Degrees. Technical colleges offer Associate’s Degrees and Certificates.
In the UK, School is until 16 years old, College (or Sixth-form College) is 16 to 18, and university comes after. The terms are not interchangeable, although schools commonly have a sixth-form colleges attached. In the UK, liberal-arts colleges don't exist nor do Associates Degrees, Bachelors Degrees are only three years because you pick your subject (major) from day one. At university In UK one doesn't use the word "Professor" either calling them "Lecturers" or "Dr". Likewise, you attend "lectures" and not "class" at university, but attend "lessons" at school and sixth-form college taught by "teachers." One "studies" subjects at school and sixth-form college, but "reads" a subject at a university. Doing my masters in Canada, I would disagree with the video, people do use the terms interchangeably -- weirdly, I've gone back to "school."
In Spanish countries we only used university
Don't you mean latin american countries? Solo hay una España wey.
Toast & Soup Don't you mean the entire world except the US?
@@ramon475 Doesn't the U.K use the term "college" too?
Dolapo Bolinda Indeed
@Dolapo Bolinda I learn something new everyday.
LOVE these vids!!!!!
Thank you very much!
If one wants to save some money, start with a community college. Do well and earn scores. Continue at a university that has a good qs world ranking within your level, if you want to go to a top university with low acceptance rate, enroll in their preparation year program. It is like a ticket to get into that college. Or find the easiest program to get into, especially if you’re confused with which program to choose and have no clear goal.
QUICK ANSWER : NO ONE KNOW'S THE DIFFERENCE
In Turkish, 'üniversite' is the university we know, while the word 'kolej' is used to describe private schools.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
When you guys post a video I'm interested in it's always in a different voice
Why is the music so dramatic, it makes the video hard to relax to and leave on in the background
That statement about the Uk is flat out false, College in Uk is 16-18 and study A levels, and Uni is 18+ and achieve degrees
JoeChristianVEVO Canada is wrong too Here graduating university gets you a degrees and college gets diplomas which are more job specific
What are you on? The statement is true. "They prepare students to earn degrees later" - A-levels and level 3 diplomas are what are needed to attend university and this is exactly what colleges and 6th forms do in the UK. Colleges can even provide HNC and HNDs, not just A-levels and BTEC vocational diplomas. What part did he get wrong? College is literally pre-university.
KnexKingGamer he got wrong that he said there are no defined differences between the two but that it’s just a trend, implying that you could study a degree at a college, which you cannot
every collage in Scotland provide HNC and HNDs as they are Scottish qualifications
Collages in Scotland is different from England.
In Canada college trains for specific jobs and university educates for like an English major College would teach massage graphic design fashion University would be medicine English teaching etc
Great video 💯🙂
I just finished trade school to be an electrician. I have numerous jobs to choose from at a decent pay. And I won’t be in crippling debt either. The beauty is, I go to my buddies frat parties on the weekends, and I don’t have to pay for it lol
So you went to a college.
cloutchristi yep. technical college
@@beefchillingham6790 good for you man
Good for you 😄
Tyler Johnson Great.
This dramatic music
Finally have been asking myself this for years .
Off topic but I like your voice!
In Canada (at least in the place I live in), college is usually for the more “odd”jobs such as electrical engenreioning, mechanical engineering and nursing while university is for higher-paying jobs like medicine and law.
I’ll tell u what’s the same, your throwing your money away for a piece of paper that says your a good drone.
One big mac please
I'd rather be a drone than a junkie.
I mean...At least they teach you the difference between your and you're...
Bobby Johnson Esq. u don’t know what I do lol what makes u think I shoot up drugs?
Bolmer would you like fries and a drink with that?
Both words came from Latin, Portuguese is one of the Latin languages, and college (colégio) in Portuguese means high school, which can last 3 to 4 years, and then students can be enrolled in bachelor's degree (3 years- uncompleted study) or specialty (5 years- full study) in any university.
I was accepted to St. Olaf College and Carleton college (both in Northfield, MN). St. Olaf is moderately hard to get into and Carleton is even harder to get into and both are soooo expensive lmao. I feel like liberal arts colleges are generally more expensive than universities, especially state-funded ones.
The way I see it, a university can have multiple colleges.
I was not ready for this depressing 🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥
The biggest difference is cost and facilities. You might go to a community college and get an associates degree (pretty much your prerequisites math English etc) then transfer to a university and focus on your actual degree subject. Colleges normally don’t have campus dorms and might offer little to no bachelors programs (4 year degree). On avg a 2 year community college then to an university for 2 year to finish your 4 year degree would cost less than going to a university all 4 years
Thank you.
*Oxford vs Cambridge*
massachusetts institue of technology vs stanford university aaaa
college vs univirsity at 0:37 reads title university vs college
College also has connotations of being a place to live i.e. residential colleges in Oxbridge. In NZ, college also means high school
I am bound to start the first two years off at a community college. Which is better? Community, university, online college?
And the best part is unless you do a STEM degree, go do something medical, or become an engineer of sorts there's zero reason to go to college because it's not as valued anymore. There's nothing I can't learn without a massive loan online for free or near free combined with the real work experience every fucking degree ever lacks, which is why you're overlooked. lol
The catch is a lot of companies don't even want to train you unless you have a degree.
but that's the thing - you CAN learn all that online but will you? how do you know if you're actually grasping the information? I went to school for photography before taking graphic design and i said the same thing before going to school. I tried for TEN YEARS to teach myself and develop my skill... i payed about $10,000, got brand new equipment i got to keep, was able to use a studio with expensive equipment and props i'll never own, i was pushed to learn about the basics of photography (i.e broad v.s short lighting - lighting a headshot PROPERLY, lighting large and small products properly to the standard of professionals, heck we even had a business class) My skills went from teenager with a DSLR to a professional with literally 50 weeks of instruction. Sometimes, schools are a waste of money. There are a lot of people who will go to university for things they can easily go to college for... but going to school is so much different than teaching yourself. If you can work your skills up to a professional level from the comfort of your computer with zero peers to learn from, cudos to you. but that's not something everyone should aspire to do. The internet is full of misinformation and crappy advice. Websites like skillshare are great, but college is supposed to help prepare you for the workforce, not JUST working on your skills in that field.
School is starting tomorrow... Kill me!!!

in puerto rico its a bit weird. school is still school, but collage refers to a private high school or school in general and then university is for any school above highschool
I was honestly surprised that my school MTSU was talked about on this video.

Community College 2 years University 4 years You're welcome
@banana aya playa Gosh you dam Canadians 🙄
not true
Not the case in Latin America. My career lasts 7 years.
only community colleges are 2 years. Some colleges are still 4 years and give bachelor degree
@@yanwinaung8111 It's weird around here😐 I guess it differs
In Canada we do not use University to describe ALL further education, there is a CLEAR distinction between the 2 and every student will make it clear that there is a difference..... If you talk to people from the U.S. A lot of them call all higher education 'College' (unless it's like Harvard) which is strange to us here in Canada. Pretty much if you go to College for a Trade here in Canada, you will actually get a good paying job $25+ first 2 years, then goes to like $40+... If you go to University, you get 40k debt, and no job.... The thing is, nobody wants to go to College here in Canada, it is almost looked down upon.
St. Olaf is where Rose (from the Golden Girls) always references :-D
Tomorrow there is school 😀
And they both make you bankrupt
That epic music though.
I went to a college that later became a university. I believe it was for financial reasons. I am not sure exactly what the deal was. But I think they somehow qualified for some kind of extra money, Federal or otherwise.
One starts with "U", the other one with "C", bye. 😎✌❤
@The JayJay clearly u went there
@The JayJay oh so ur still in highschool then
@The JayJay why did u delete all ur comments
University > Collage
College*
Spelling Class>University>College
What about cases such as City Universities of New York? I attend Queens College, which has a campus of 84 acres (keep in mind this is in a city) and attendance at 16k students, undergraduate only. You fully call it CUNY Queens College. So, is it a university, college, or "both"?
In my area in Canada, universities issue degrees and colleges issue diplomas. Universities are harder to get into and are considered higher in prestige than colleges. Some work fields and work places will only accept degrees from university and not a college diploma. The course work in university is harder and considered more cerebral than college which is more practical. University is also more expensive than college for these reasons.
Which one gives a better degrees?
University is more prestigious when it comes to applying to higher positions in corporations due to candidates being horizons more educated than college student who most likely consumes instructor teachings than researching on it's own.
Of course University
ok, this is epic
God Shapiro 😇👌🏼💪🏻
Someone could help me, I did not live in the US and next year I will go to what would be the university but I discovered that there are collages here and I was very confused, which one would be better to choose to study biology?
In the Philippines I noticed even if you go to the capital Manila most expensive Colleges mostly is just an entire Building with Parking Lot, but the Universities in the Philippines even in the Provinces are very huge . Even public High schools and Elementary schools in the Provinces, in the Philippines are very huge than the Private schools in Manila.
Omg, I just moved into my dorm at Harvard earlier today and I’m just sitting in my bed watching KZhead and I just realized that Harvard is called “Harvard College”, not “Harvard University” 😂
