If you’re applying to Columbia, you have to apply to a specific college. Depending on what you want to major in, larger universities all have smaller, fragmented colleges that focus on that area; you will never apply to just a university in general.

Typically, you’ll see some sort of “arts and sciences” college
an “engineering college”
and a few others.
