graduate from (a) college / university ?

Could you teach me if "a" is needed or not in this case below.

He graduated from (a) college.

He graduated from (a) university.

Some one says when you use "college",

it is often used as " enter/ graduate from (x) college", for example.

Do you think so ?

Where I live it's graduate from college, but (surprise, surprise!) graduate from a university!

It depends on the context. If it is for a resume, 'prestigious' sound pompous; if it is a biography, it sound fine.

He graduated first from a prestigious college in Texas and then from another college in Mississippi, acquiring two bachelor's degrees in *** in his final year.
