    In the US, universities have a significant number of graduate degrees along with undergraduate degrees while colleges offer (almost) exclusively undergraduate degrees. My alma mater became a university shortly before I started because they started offering enough graduate degrees.

      This is the correct answer for the US. “College” in my mind is more basic, too. Nothing wrong with it, and there are definitely colleges that graduate more competent BSs than some universities’ BSs because their departments are focused on graduate level work.
