Until recently I assume they were synonymous πŸ˜…, Here you go to Uni immediatly after finishing HS.

But in the US, colloquially every 4 year school is a college. People say β€œI’m going to college.” People don’t say β€œI’m going to university.”

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.
