College or University
July 3rd, 2008 by merpaticollegeWhat’s the difference between a college or university. I don’t want to get too academic here. Let’s just talk about it like we’re having a normal conversation. For me, when i hear college, i think of liberal arts. I think of a small campus with a lot small classes. I think of the Claremont colleges in Pomona. I also think about how expensive colleges are. On the flipside, i also think about community colleges. Community colleges are like extended high school. I went to community collge for summer session to get some general education units out of the way. It was a cheap way to fulfil my GE requirements without paying a lot of money. The attitude that the staff and student body has was different from my 4 year university. I don’t mean to sound bad or anything, but i think the atmosphere was not that good.
What is a university exactly. When i hear university, i think of large libiaries and research institutions. I think of large classrooms and TAs. You don’t really get to build relationships with your professors. What do i think is better? Probably colleges. But who can afford colleges?
