What makes a college a college and not a university?
In modern higher education the distinction and use of college as opposed to university is a semantical term, rather than one based on objective naming criteria.

By precedence a college was either a singular school of a discipline or distinct unit/faculty of a university. Thus a university was/is/can be comprised of individual colleges. That being said a school named a college can still have individual faculties/departments demonstrating the ambiguous nature of the term.
