peter carpal tunnel Registered: 13/07/2000 Posts: 4181 Loc: Cambridge, England	Quote: University - College I've never quite got my head round the way US English uses "school" to refer to university education -- after all, high schools have "school" in the name, but universities all have "university" in the name. When a US parent says to me, "My son is thinking of going to school in England", is there a way of telling that the son means to attend a university, or is it actually ambiguous? Peter
