Regardless of size, University refers to Institutions with more than one College. For instance, at NCSU we have the College of Humanities and Sciences, the College of Engineering, etc. There are Universities with 3,000 students (and less) and there are Universities with over 30,000 students.

Anyway, that's one of my peeves. End of hijack
I have many friends in CALS!

For non-NC people: College of Agriculture and Life Science... pronounced like COWS. I'm such a farm girl.

I guess I'm different on this issue. Although W&L is technically a University, I usually refer to it as a college, although it technically has 3 divisions. I usually go by size I guess. I'm technically wrong I suppose.
