Is college and university the same thing in America?
Just curious. So many times in movies people say I'm going to college, so is that basically university? Or is university a completely different thing?

For the most part, Americans use the word "college" rather than university to refer to an institution of higher education. Theoretically there are differences between colleges and universities in terms of degrees offered, but those lines blur from state to state depending on legislation.
