    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 “I’m going to college.” People don’t say “I’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.
