Colleges are like CC's/JC's here. There for people whow ant something either very specialized or who are not good nough to make it into university. College is 3 years. university 4. Thast;s another big difference. plus colleges are small. i belong to a college because u ofT has a college system. There are a few thousand registered kids in my college. There are almost 60k in the university!

......Another difference is that universities have Royal Charters.... and chscrew144 comment about the college system at UofT might need some explaining.... so here goes..... UofT uses the British college system, so while a student at UofT he belongs to a college, which handles all the administrative, intramural, and student life aspects. Some colleges were originally founded for religious reasons... ie an Anglican college, and a Catholic college.
Now abot student numbers... currently UofT's three campus make up about 70,000 undergrads and grads; my college has about 5500 students.... which is larger than a lot of the schools down south. With all these numbers we have about 300-350 greeks.... and it is constantly an uphill battle to recruit.
