What is a "college"?

A college is an institution of higher education where students pursue a bachelor's degree after completing their secondary education. It provides a range of academic programs and disciplines for students to specialize in, often with a focus on undergraduate education. Colleges may also offer associate degrees or certifications in certain fields. Unlike universities, which often have graduate programs, colleges primarily focus on providing bachelor's-level education and may also include various extracurricular activities and support services to enhance the student experience.

High school is an educational institution for students typically aged 14 to 18, covering grades 9 through 12. It provides a more advanced level of education, focusing on subjects like mathematics, science, language arts, social studies, and electives such as art, music, and physical education. High school helps students build the skills necessary for either higher education or entering the workforce.

What is an "apartment"?

An apartment is a housing unit that is part of a larger building or complex. It typically includes a living room, one or more bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom, and is designed for individuals or families to live in. Apartments can vary in size and layout, and they are often rented or leased from a landlord or property management company who owns the entire building or complex. Residents of an apartment building share common areas, such as hallways, elevators, or laundry rooms, while maintaining privacy within their individual units. Apartments are commonly found in urban areas and are a popular choice for those seeking convenient, low-maintenance living.
