Yep. In the US, College = University. Most of them are called universities, but when referring to higher level education, you call it college.

I graduate from high school next Friday. I'm taking a year off before college to spend some time with ym Peruvian grandmother in Lima. I don't know how this will all work exactly since I have to get auditions hooked up and if I can't do anything musical, I won't stay for very long. Don't use it, you lose it.

Could someone spell out the educational systems in the UK and Canada?
i think by systems you mean this.

You start at nursery at about 3 /4 yrs old

then after about a year you go to primary school where it starts off at Reception Class

then year one, year two, ect, up untill year 6.

you then move to high school at 11 years old and start in year 7 up untill year 11 when your 16 and take your GCSEs

Primary school and high school are split up into groups called key stages.

Reception - year 3 = KS1
year 4 - year 6 = KS2
year 7 - year 9 = KS3
year 10 and year 11 = KS4

you then move on to collage for how ever many years your course is (usually 2) to get your A-Level

after you go to universaty where you study for a degree
