DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COLLEGE AND A UNIVERSITY

The Difference between a COLLEGE and a UNIVERSITY

Do you know what is the difference between a college and a university?

Well here is a quote from John Ciardi which says it all:

“A university is what a college becomes when the faculty loses interest in students”

John Ciardi

Do you agree? 

Were your teachers in your college more interested in you than your professors in the university are?

And now there is another terminology for educational institutions called INSTITUTE.

Colleges are being renamed “Institutes”

For example, Regional Engineering Colleges (REC) have been renamed as National Institutes of Technology (NIT).

Please tell us what is the difference between a “College” and an “Institute”.
