Both our colleges and our universities are really the same thing, I'm not sure if there is a hard and fast rule as to how a school is categorized. College usually starts after 12th grade, so for the most part, freshmen are 18, though some people take a year off between the end of high school and the beginning of college.

college is a specific school of study, ie the college of medicine, and a university is an school with a range of study programs. We misuse the term college a lot.

Not really.

At least that's what I'm talking about, don't know about the rest of you. I'm definitely going to a college rather than a university.

Man, I need a fake ID.
I think an important thing to keep in mind about college is that there is a whole world outside of it. There are so many other things you could be doing; be aware of that fact, and be aware of why you're in college.

Not mine, says community college right on the logo. Teaches lots of stuff, just only to an associate's.

The asian student organization back at CMU had a drawer in their office of the IDs of former members. When people were heading out for the bars, they'd just grab a random card from the drawer. This actually worked lol
