Just to clarify, I and many other Americans use the term school to mean tertiary education (university, higher education).

I thought this was the case but wasn't 100% sure which this poster meant. So in the last sentence where they say 'college' do you think they're talking about secondary or tertiary? It might just be a confusing-to-parse post.

To me, (colloquially and ignoring subtleties):

university = college = tertiary education = higher education = postsecondary education = school = uni

Yes, thank you.
