In Canadian English, the term college usually refers to a technical, applied arts, or applied science school. These are post-secondary institutions granting certificates, diplomas, associate's degree, and bachelor's degrees.
In English Canada, the term "college" is usually used to refer to technical schools that offer specialized professional or vocational education in specific employment fields. They include colleges of applied arts and technology, colleges of applied sciences, etc.
In Ontario and Alberta, and formerly in British Columbia, there are also institutions which are designated university colleges, as they only grant under-graduate degrees. This is to differentiate between universities, which have both under-graduate and graduate programs and those that do not. There is a distinction between "college" and "university" in Canada. In conversation, one specifically would say either "They are going to university" (i.e., studying for a three- or four-year degree at a university) or "They are going to college" (suggesting a technical or career college).
College is a 1990 Italian comedy television series, based on the 1983/4 film College. It aired on Tuesdays at 20.30 in Italy from March 6 to June 5, 1990 for a total of 14 episodes. The episodes were directed by Lorenzo Castellano and Federico Moccia. The music for the series was provided by Claudio Simonetti. The female lead in the series is Federica Moro, Miss Italy, while her male counterpart, and her boyfriend, is Keith Van Hoven.
The college featured in the series is located near the Naval Academy in the heart of Tuscany. The show was produced by Reteitalia and had excellent results in the ratings, with a peak of 6 million viewers per episode. It has since been re-run on numerous satellite channels.
A college is an educational institution or a constituent part of an educational institution.
College may also refer to a group sharing common purposes or goals:
We were just dumb kids with a six pack
That a bad fake ID bought
Sittin' on the livin' room couch
Hopin' that we didn't get caught
And when we did, my dad
Had some good advice for me
He said, "Son, there's a time and place
For just about everything, it's called 'College'"
Next thing I know I'm packin' up
And hey I'm outta here
A backseat full of clothes
And my old cavalier
And there was empty pizza boxes
Attacked all around the room
A couple of beers on a Tuesday
And one in the afternoon, hey college
Those were the best days of my life
I found my friends, myself, and my wife
I learned almost everything that I know
Without ever gaining knowledge
In college, in college
I had such a good time in those four years
That I stretched it into six
And I'd like to thank ole George's Bar
For the the classes that I missed
I was searchin' for the meanin' of life
When I saw her walk my way
There was not doubt in my my mind
That it wasn't about a GPA
Those were the best days of my life
I found my friends, myself, and my wife
Learned almost everything that I know
Without ever gainin' knowledge
In college
Those were the best days of my life
I found myself, my friends and my wife
Learned almost everything that I know
Might have gained a little knowledge
In college
