<p>Well, not exactly. Harvard College is a part of Harvard University. The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is another part of Harvard University, as are the law school, the medical school, the divinity school, the Kennedy School of Government…</p>
<p>As for the original question, there are pros and cons to both colleges and universities. They’ve been hinted at already. Besides the generalities about personal attention and undergraduates taking graduate-level classes, the feel of a large university campus is often different from the feel of either a college or a smaller university. (By this, I mean to suggest that Michigan State doesn’t feel the same as Brandeis, even though both are research universities.) For example, if your really want the rah-rah atmosphere of big-time college sports, you’ll find a lot more of it at Ohio State than you will at Oberlin.</p>
