College (Latin collegium) is a term most often used today to denote an educational institution. More broadly, it can be the name of any group of colleagues (see for example electoral college, College of Arms). Originally it meant a group of people living together under a common set of rules (con-, "together" + leg-, "law"); indeed, some colleges call their members "fellows". The precise usage of the term varies among English-speaking countries.
The group on the infamous 'Circle Line 3' shall be assigned punishment by a jury of 3, with evidence provided by a college of many.

a worthwhile investment that will relieve most people who finish from a job with their name on their shirt. if you aren't making any more money with your degree, it's your own fault. stop bitching.

a place almost like high school, but the professors(teachers) don't give a shit and you pay to miss class from having a hangover. endless partying and much sex going on. oh yeah....a place of learning for a possible descent career.

A place that I want to go to get a degree, but at the same time, I want to say "fuck you!" to my family by not going.
Mother: GO TO COLLEGE! DON'T THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY!
Son: Fuck no! I ain't going to college.
10 years later, son is a world-famous rockstar while the mom is sobbing in her grave.
