Government politics involves governing a country or region through activities, decision-making, and competition among political parties and officials. College politics, on the other hand, pertain to interactions, power struggles, and decision-making within a college or university campus. Government politics affect the entire population and focus on broader policies, while college politics are localized and centered around student life and campus affairs. The stakes are higher in government politics, as they impact citizens' lives, while college politics primarily affect the college community.
