Hi Catfish, College or University can refer to the same institution of higher learning, or sub-sections of it, all at the same time! Can be confusing. University is the higher "status" designation in academia, but not necessarily better education. Here are some definition components for College:

1.an institution of higher learning,sep. one providing a general or liberal arts education rather than technica or professional trainingg.
2. a constituent unit of a university, furnishing courses of instruction in the liberal arts and sciences, usually leading to a bachelor's degree.
3. an institution for vocational, technical, or professional instruction, as medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, or music, often a part of a university.
4. an endowed, self-governing association of scholars incorporated within a university, as at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge in England.
5. a similar corporation outside a university.
6. the building or buildings occupied by an institution of higher education.
7. the administrators, faculty and students of a college.
8. (in Britain and Canada) a private secondary school.
There are a couple more, but the most interesting: British Slang, a prison. The Old Bailey procedings for the last few hundred years are on line now, makes interesting reading.
Def of University
An institution of learning at the highest level ,para. including all of the above, graduate studies, etc. authorized to confer both undergraduate and graduate degress. Continental European universities usually have only graduate or professional schools.
