What are your perceptions of College/University life in Great Britain?

<p>It gets confusing on Yahoo Answers when people will talk about how they want to drop out of college and the Americans all assume they mean university when in fact they mean, as my understanding goes, the equivalent to our high school. I went to community college, which isn’t technically a university but is university level, boy did it take me a while to explain THAT properly. I turned out to be a few years older than she’d expected. I think her “college” is actually called SomethingorOther Community College.</p>
