What is the difference between going to college and university?


I was wondering what is the difference of going to college to become a nurse or going to University to become a nurse. I was looking through the viewbooks and the programs seem almost identical.

Universities offer doctorate degrees, while colleges do not. Generally, universities are more prestigious schools. However, nursing is a unique field. The education is very applied. In your case, it probably doesn't really matter which you attend. My recommendation would be to contact the recruiter for a great local hospital and ask which they would prefer to see on your resume when you apply in a couple years.

you will found the different when you graduate

from university, the degree you get will be given by the university.

from college, the degree you get will be given by the university which the college is co-operated wilth.

They are similar. The only difference between college and university is that colleges are smaller (and as a result, there's more personal attention).

In the US, those two words are used interchangeably. Technically, a university is made up of several colleges. In the US, those colleges are arranged by discipline (all the engineering courses in one college, all the arts & sciences courses in one college, all the nursing courses in one college, etc).
