If you went on to schooling past High School in the United States, what would you say:

“I’m going to college”

OR

“I’m going to university”

Funny that in movies and TV, little proper rich kids say "I'm going to study at University," but no "normal" person would ever say that.

British people call 4 year post secondary "University" and would say "I'm going to University" rather than college.
