Universities are usually run by the state and are public and large. Colleges are usually smaller and more privately owned but still generally accept most people.
It's a matter of personal usage though; people will know what you're talking about when you say "I'm at college" and you're technically attending a university. Universities tend to focus more on science and mathematics and stuff, where colleges give off the vibe of the arts. But that's just the way people interpret the words.
