Whilst the trend is changing, if you said you went to college, UK meaning tends to be technical college or polytechnic, studying vocational work such as trade apprenticeships. I did my mining electrician studies at a 'tech and got my engineer / chartered engineer at a 'Poly.

That said, Oxford and Cambridge universities are made up from what they call colleges. Ditto medical standards institutes are called royal colleges.

All confusing years ago. I employed a man from Chicago to be in charge of our US operations back in 1989, and his CV (the first time I had seen the term resumé!) spoke of his college. I assumed he went to something similar to me, bog standard apprenticeship. Turned out he was "Ivy League" as I discovered later.
