<p>

A university is an educational institution that has more than one college.</p>

<p>Said another way - a college is just one school, a university is more than one school under the university umbrella.

</p>

<p>Exactly.</p>

<p>There’s no systematic difference in prestige. Frankly, most universities have greater name recognition than undergraduate colleges due to football and basketball.</p>
