College (Latin: collegium) is a term most often used today in the United States to denote a degree-awarding tertiary educational institution and in other English-speaking countries to refer to an academically oriented secondary school. More broadly, it can be the name of any group of colleagues, for example, an electoral college, a College of Arms or the College of Cardinals. Originally, it meant a group of persons living together, under a common set of rules (con- = "together" + leg- = "law" or lego = "I choose"); indeed, some colleges call their members "fellows". The precise usage of the term varies among the English-speaking countries. In the United States and Ireland, for example, the terms "college" and "university" may be regarded as loosely interchangeable, whereas in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and other Commonwealth countries, a "college" is usually an institution between school and university level (although constituent schools within universities are sometimes known as "colleges").

Q. Since most of the college football teams begins their football season today, or at some point this Labor Day weekend. I would like to take the time, to ask what is the best college football movie ever. And also please tell me why, you think that movie is the best college football movie ever. The only 2 college football movies that I can think of are Rudy, and We Are Marshall. And I bet there will be people having Rudy on the list, since I bet that it is an old favorite, but will a more of a recent movie We Are Marshall going to be on the list? And I bet that there are some others that I could be forgetting about at the moment. Asked by staggmovie - Sat Sep 5 10:31:44 2009 - - 11 Answers - 2 Comments A. They all suck...

Q. I am a highschool senior and looking at various colleges. I am wondering if anybody knows the best college for undergrade classes that have the very best chance at getting into vet school after. Does it help to go to a big university with a vet school? Are there any private schools that have a high rate of undergrades getting accepted to vet school on their first try? Is it better to go to a large school with more opportunities, or small school with more attention? Any information will help! Asked by Lor - Tue Aug 21 15:12:40 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. You should check out Cornell. Cornell has a great veterinarian program at the undergraduate level. Plus Cornell is Ivy League. Best of luck to you.
