I have an intention of vs I have an intention to
Could anyone tell me what is the difference between when I say" I have an intention of getting a college degree." vs "I have an intention to get a college degree." ?
I was told by my English teacher (who is not native English speaker by the way) that I can only use the latter and two sentences do not mean the same. I looked up on the dictionary and it seems like those two phrases mean the same? Could some one help me?
