The American version of a University, consisting of gay arse Frats, brotherhoods, sorities and dorms..how gay? who uses dorms? thats so grade 6 camp. Which they only call it "college" to be different from the rest of the English speaking world. (Even though English was invented in Engalnd...by the way im not English), and as they do with other words such as Grey, or as they like to call it "gray" and mum which they prefer to spell and say as "mom". Aswell as that they claim to be a really lucky country with all that free education crap but in actual fact they have to pay $30 000 to attend one of these so called "colleges" or they cannot be educated..sounds kinda third world to me. In my country you dont have to pay to learn. Maybe America should quit spending all thier money on nuclear bombs and should invest in assisting thier youth in the feild of "college!"

College profesor: " your too poor to be a doctor..maybe you should learn how to make burgers!"

A lot of people seem to have a negative idea about college for some reason...Either they are pretentious fucks, or all the students they know do arts.
College, or university, is a large institute of further learning which one attends after secondary school. Often, students leave home and live on their own with other students, learning how to pay their own bills and keep up a home on their own without calling mum and dad every time some little thing goes wrong.
While at college, it is traditional to consume large amounts of alcohol, marijuana, and sex. Students must also attend lectures and, for the sart people (ie those doing science and engineering) there are labs as well.
College is not like school. In school, the emphasis is completely on memorization, while in college, it is very much on grokking. Also, the lecturers are actual professionals (such as scientists, engineers, lawyers, artists, etc) rather than mere teachers.
After three or four years, the student graduates with a degree. An arts degree is pretty useless, but most others are handy for getting a good job so that the former student may pay back whatever debt they may have accrued.

The biggest gimmick out there. You pay oodles of money just to listen to some dickhead thump some outdated propaganda from the 1960s that is outdated while the world is falling apart. The propaganda usually involves something like Al Gore and maybe something related to how great the Beatles and Bob Marley are. You are forced to live in some smelly dorm room where you survive on Spam and Eazy Mac, and you have to deal with "diverse people" as in weird people - a lot of them have disabilities and they got a scholarship because of their untreated ADHD. The getting laid and beer pong is a big myth - most of the time in college is spent watching YouTube videos when you really should be research about some philosophical rhetoric of the Russian Revolution or something like that, jacking off too porn when you really want to get laid, and watching your favorite ball game get their ass kicked. You actually have to go to class with granny and your mom - that sucks.
College is a big gimmick. I am taking online and screw the Establishment!

Where your life begins (right after high school). College is the key to learning all there is to know to, basically, create your legacy, and even rake in shitloads of money!

Its commonly accepted that if you go to college, you are dumb. Also: waterloo, queens and U of T round up the top 3 universities. Western is for spoiled brats.
In the states, everything is a "college". Why no word for university?
"I got into queens university. All it took was a 95.6% average, 200 hours of community service and a letter of reccomendation from the board of directors at my dad's financial firm"-Me
