My point was, there's a distinctive difference between the way Americans and other nations refer to attending universities/college.

I graduated from a University (U of M) and when I tell stories about my school days I always refer to it as "when I was in college" or "when I was in school". I have NEVER said, "when I was in university".
My school friends are called my college buddies not my University buddies. I understand the point Furious is making and agree with it. Europeans call it attending University and Americans call it Going to College.
