OK, so in America, University is 'college'.?

Like, when your 18, you can choose to go there, and you get a degree (or equivalent/similar).

So the college forum on LW is also a Uni forum?

I'm confused, I will be a fresher in Uni on my first term in a months time, does that mean if I was in America, id be a 'Freshman' starting my first 'Semester'?

Need to clarify this, I only loosely know the connection.

Institutions of higher learning in America can be called colleges or universities, depending on size, degrees offered, etc.

It sometimes works out like that, but that isn't the definition. The difference is actually largely arbitrary. Public schools tend to be called "colleges," though there are some public universities as well. Colleges tend to be less prestigious, large, or expensive.

Universities tend to have programs of study that are large and independent enough to call them "colleges." Many universities have a "college of History" or a "college of Mathematics," but these only refer to programs within the school.

They really are just two different scales of the same thing.
