If we're talking about the UK, then the main difference (in a practical sense) is that colleges typically offer Level 3 qualifications (A levels, Level 3 BTECs, etc.) whilst universities offer qualifications at Level 4 and above (undergraduate degrees, master's degrees, doctorates, etc.).

Is that the sort of difference you meant? Or did you mean in terms of approach, teaching methods, day-to-day life, etc?
