What's the difference between "College" and "University"?
Until recently I assume they were synonymous π , Here you go to Uni immediatly after finishing HS.

As someone who lives in the US, that is not true. All universities are colleges, but not all colleges are universities. A community college is not a university.
But in the US, colloquially every 4 year school is a college. People say βIβm going to college.β People donβt say βIβm going to university.β
I've never referred to my university as a college.
I attended a two year community college, which I always referred to as college, and a four year state university that I always referred to as university. Otherwise, I referred to them by their acronyms, or more loosely as school.
