I would say that the "better" is a term that is relative. The use of the
database is more important. If you are going to use it for elementry
database applications which do not need lot of tuning, you can go for
mySQL or PostgreSQL. If you have somthing that needs fantastic
performance, as in a datacenter with 1000's of transactions per second,
you need to look at Oracle or Sybase.

If the need, within lower usage, is to get a complete database system,
try PostgreSQL since that has more facilities. But I doubt that for the
purpose of a college, you would need anything more than MySQL.

These are options. Evaluate for yourself. As outlined, the purpose with
each is different and hence none can be "better"
