Why does everyone use "uni"? I never once heard this growing up, everyone always referred to it as "college".

When did this trend start?

In other countries, college is more like our high school, and what we call college is called university. Uni is a common abbreviation and refers to optional, more exclusive higher learning leading to a bachelor's degree or above. In the US we use college and university interchangeably.

There are a lot of non US posters. I was born and raised in the states, but go to uni in Canada; so, I say uni, like my peers. And it's shorter, familam.

>SENTENCES
I was at the top 10% of my college class, and because of highlights beyond my college alone, I became well known across the University.
