In the [[United States]], the word "college" is both synonymous with "[[university]]", and may also describe a component (including a graduate school) under the umbrella of a university (e.g. a "College of Nursing").  In some cases, though, the term is used to denote an institution that only offers undergraduate degrees, or to denote a two-year institution (i.e. a [[community college]]).

[[Obesity]] is a problem in college education, perhaps due to the [[liberal claptrap]] that dominates courses and culture there. "According to a survey in 2021, 44% of college students in the US described their weight as more than normal, i.e. either in the overweight or obese category."<ref>https://obesitymedicine.org/obesity-care-in-college-students-in-the-us/</ref>

However, in the [[United Kingdom]] and some former British territories, the word may be used to denote a school for post-secondary, but non-degree education, defined as Further Education. Many UK secondary school students will go to a college (a Sixth Form College or a College of Further Education) after the age of 16, to study academic, business or vocational subjects up to pre-university level.

The word college is also used in a few non-educational applications, such as the [[Electoral College]] in the [[United States]], the Royal College of Nursing in the United Kingdom, or the [[College of Cardinals]] at the [[Vatican]].

Many colleges and professors have been known for their strong liberal biases, and for promoting [[liberal propaganda]].<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8427-2005Mar28.html]</ref>  Depending on whether or not the student selects one of the [[Worst College Majors]], college can leave the student in suffocating debt and delusion, the effects of which may take decades to undo if it ever does.
