College
What do we mean when we say college?
College can be many things. Think of it as "What do I need to know and understand to be able to do my dream job?"
The institution could be a Technical School, Community College, Public College or University, Private College or University.

Room: Is dorm life an experience you are looking for in a college environment?
Major: Does the school have the major you want and is the program sufficient? If not, is there a similar major offered?
