they're the same, but usually, university is used in other countries, while college is more common in the U.S. (or at least it is where I'm from XD)

ahhhhhh so the college is the same as department???
- English (US)
@kpop30fr yeah, it can be used like that, but I've always heard college used as the same thing as all of the departments together.
"he's going to college when he's done with high school" and "he's going to university when he's done with high school" mean the same thing.
"college" can be used as "department" though too
