Why are some universities called universities and others called colleges?
Colleges can be independent schools, and many universities also have their own subordinate secondary colleges (departments) or independent colleges established by ordinary universities in cooperation with social organizations or individuals other than state institutions. In Chinese mainland, there is no special definition of university.

Universities (colleges) refer to ordinary institutions of higher learning, which are organizations with unique functions. It is an institution of higher learning that inherits, studies, integrates and innovates advanced academic knowledge, and is interrelated with social, economic and political institutions.

It is not only the product of the development of human culture to a certain stage, but also a unique culture gradually formed on the basis of long-term school-running practice through historical accumulation, self-efforts and external environmental influence.
