Education systems change in different continents/countries :P We don't have college here, I think it's the equivalent of our TAFE.
We have primary school > secondary school > university (or lower).. well actually there are several connections while getting a bachelors on lower schools (than uni) where you can switch up to university, but that shit's hard to explain.

For instance I attend the University of Such and Such, but on my university we have about 5 different "colleges," such as the College of Education, College of Business, College of Engineering, ect.
However some schools are just a college and not a university.
Also we don't say "Oh I'm in university" or "I'm at university." We refer to the grade level as college as a whole, so while I attend a university, I'm in college. America is weird, don't blame me.
