In the US, a university offers at least 1 Master or higher degree in some field. A college's highest degree is an Associate (community college) or Bachelor.
A university will refer to it's smaller degree areas as College such as College of Educational, College of Business. This is to differentiate them from administrative departments. In the same vain, college's will have schools of education or business, ect.
In the UK (by what my Brit friends have taught me) college is more like US high school, and university is the education after that (the post secondary education). My friend's child would be in US high school, but is attending college in England.
The international system replaces one of the country's two traditional methods, where people are deemed to be a year old at birth - taking into account time spent in the womb.
I've seen no evidence of counting time in the womb. I have seen lots of non-Koreans spreading the belief around.
What happens is the moment you are born you are 1 in Old Korea Counting (OKC). 0 international.
On January 1 you are 2 in OKC and 0 international.
On your 1st birthday you are 2 in OKC and 1 international.
On the next January 1 you are 3 OKC and 1 international.
And so forth.
Source: 2 decades in Korea, Korean spouse who is happy to be younger, and a Korean child who is very disappointed to be younger. When our child was born we didn't say they were 9 months (OKC), they were 1(OKC).
It has been explained to me as "counting the years you have been alive during".
Hot Take: 5e is too bloated with unnecessary rules and should be simplified (ttrpg.network)
I recommend this video to look more into OSR philosophy regarding the rules: www.youtube.com/live/bCxZ3TivVUM?si=aZ-y2U_AVjn9a…
What's the difference between "College" and "University"?
Until recently I assume they were synonymous 😅, Here you go to Uni immediatly after finishing HS.
