It's college you stupid fucks. Not uni. Please rid the English language of this bastardization of a word. It makes you sound like some pompous piece of shit with no self-esteem.
Say college. C-o-l-l-e-g-e.

It does not imply you go to a 2 year program. No one in top 20 programs refer to their program as a "uni." They say college.

"I go to college."

"When I was in college..."

"I am a college student."

Now get with it folks.

And there are plenty of third tier 4 year programs that are "universities." So saying "uni" does not mean anything, and instead reveals to the rest of the world you've probably gone to a no-name program or care too much about what others think of you.

*Saying university should only be with the full name of the program. Like Princeton University. Otherwise, it's almost always college. And never, ever "uni."
