Good luck at the new school and thankfully, you can put the past behind you...We're all proud of you for the steps/risk you took for the kilted family.

It's amazing how much difference a new school can make.

I'm taking classes at a new school, and the difference is amazing. My kilt hasn't really even been brought up by most people, where in my old school its some kind of issue to everyone.

I think the terrible things you mention seeing and hearing at your old school are a byproduct of the environment that produces people most intolerant to kilts.

From what I understand in the states a university is a college that has enough money to redo the signs out front. In many cases if the university is large enough to award degrees/diplomas in a number of areas the sub groups are called colleges.

I attended the college of engineering at the University of Maryland before being drafted. After I got out of the service I attend and graduated from Mt. Saint Mary's College. Recently I noticed that it is now Mt. Saint Mary's University and from what I can tell it is still the same size. It's all marketing.

“In a global context, the words "college" and "university" can
inspire confusion. Different countries use the same words to name
different things. What is usually called a "college" in Europe is
really more like the two-year institution called a "Community College"
in the U.S.

In the United States, when you ask someone what differentiates the
two, the first response is likely to be "not much."

How they're basically the same:
• While many factors affect the quality of an institution, the same
type of Baccalaureate or Bachelor's degrees can be conferred by both
colleges and universities.
• Admission requirements differ according only to selectivity-Highly
ranked colleges are often more selective than universities.
• Both colleges and universities can be either privately or publicly operated.
• The phrase "going to college" is used to mean attending any
university or college in the U.S.


How they generally differ:
• Colleges tend to be smaller, with smaller class sizes and students
receiving more personal attention from faculty.
• Universities offer Masters and Doctorate degrees-requiring
completion of the Bachelors degree first.
• Universities tend to be larger, with faculty time and attention
divided between research and teaching.
• Some large Universities will have divisions named "The College of
Liberal Arts" or the "College of Engineering."

Best of Luck in you quest for higher education (post high school)!
