1A quick google search shows that for example HoGent describes themselves as a "university college" in English.– user9646Commented Jun 28, 2016 at 14:17

2@NajibIdrissi That's another datapoint, but I'm concerned that people not familiar with the term might view me as graduated from a full-on university (which is a step above hogeschool).– NzallCommented Jun 28, 2016 at 14:19

In English (well, at least the UK), you want to describe the level of your qualification, not of the institution you acquired it from. The word 'college' is used (among other things) for somewhere that teaches both school-level and university-level courses, and it is possible to end your studies at any year-equivalent. The question becomes: do you have a bachelors degree, and if so is it an honours degree?– Jessica BCommented Mar 31, 2018 at 6:38

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hochschule seems helpful - it says the distinction is to do with what (graduate) degrees an institution is allowed to award. It may be that you're worrying about a distinction that most English speakers are not concerned with (at least in that context). The UK, for political reasons, uses the term 'university' quite broadly, and would include an institution that only offered undergraduate degrees within that.– Jessica BCommented Mar 31, 2018 at 6:45

1Just tell them you "went to Carapils College, if you know what I mean wink wink" and they will be like "No, I don't know what you mean"– DBBCommented Apr 1, 2018 at 2:21

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
