“College” is the most common term used to talk about where you get your education after you
finish high school. There are other words used to describe specific types of educational
experiences

Technical school teaches skills used by individuals in certain jobs such as a car mechanic,
computer hardware repairman, restaurant chef, heat and air conditioning repairman. Technical
schools provide a hands-on environment that prepares you to work in these types of jobs.
Military training is considered technical school training.

Community college provides 2-year degrees in certain areas of study like technical schools.
Many community colleges prepare you to transfer to a 4 year college or university for further
study

A university is usually considered different from a college because of the many different levels
of education that you can complete.
Postsecondary education is made up of all of these opportunities. 3
