Usage notes
* In the United States, institutions calling themselves universities are generally relatively large (compared to colleges), and offer postgraduate degrees in addition to undergraduate degrees. In other countries, this distinction is not made and any degree-granting institution is called a university. * In the United States, students will sometimes say that they go to "the university" or to "a university", but they are far more likely to say they are going "to college". In the UK, students go to "university", without the article. In Canada, students go "to university" (also without the article) if they are attending a school that grants bachelor's or postgraduate degrees.Synonyms
