What is the difference between Boston University and Boston College? Are they connected?
Universities and Technikons are public institutions – a private institution may not legally call itself a "universaty" or "technikon", they may however refer to themselves as colleges.

Boston University is not State run, it is a private school. They are very different though. The difference between a college and a university is that a college just offers a collection of degrees in one specific area, while a university is a collection of colleges. When you go to a university you are going to be graduating from one of their colleges, such as the business college. As to which is better, it depends on what you want. Single colleges tend to be smaller while universities are bigger, but universities are better known.
