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

    I think it depends on your country. Here in the UK, for example, a college is usually an alternative to a school for GCSEs or A-levels. It can also be for specific vocational training - e.g. art college.

    As far as I can tell - in the US college & university are synonymous. They also often use school to refer to the same place.

    In the UK, if someone asked you where you went to school, you would assume they wanted to know what secondary (high) school you went to. It would never occur to you that they meant uni!
