Answers:
A University can offer several "colleges" of information. A University could have a college of medicine, college of engineering, college of nursing, college of business administration...etc...while they are all "under the same roof", they are separate colleges within the university with separate faculty.
In the US, often there is no difference.
In Canada (and probably other places), universities are more prestigious. They are harder to be accepted to, and offer the tough courses like engineering, medicine, etc. University programs are usually minimum 4 years.
How much you'll pay in tuition.
Nothing. they mean the same thing.
A college offers a four year, undergraduate degree (Bachelors). A university offers undergraduate and graduate degrees (Masters and PhD). For example, Yale College is the undergraduate program of Yale University.
A college is only accredited to grant Bachelor degrees. A University is accredited to grant advanced degrees (Master and Doctorate degrees). There are many small universities because it only requires one program accreditation to become a university. For example, if a college gets accredited to grant a Master's degree in Music, it is entitled to change its name to university even if that is the only subject in which it can grant a Masters degree.
