College vs university vs school

Post by M. Ridcully »

Например, фразы "I leant it in college" vs "I learnt it in university" - есть ли какая-то разница?
Ещё заметил, иногда употребляют school в значении университет. Но не уверен, что во фразах выше - можно заменить.

Learned vs. learnt
Learned is the more common past tense and past participle of the verb learn. Learnt is a variant especially common outside North America. In British writing, for instance, it appears about once for every three instances of learned. In the U.S. and Canada, meanwhile, learnt appears only once for approximately every 500 instances of learned, and it’s generally considered colloquial. :umnik1:

Liberal arts college, community college - не университеты.
Еще institute есть типа CalTech или MIT.

Т.е. университет может иметь в составе и школы и коледжи, да еще департметры, а иногда и институты... Понавыдутывали пендосы...
