In the US, people go to "college" at a "university". College is a level of education and a university provides that level of education. One alternative to a college education is what's called a "technical school", and you're right, the submitter probably doesn't need a technical school.

(To add to the fun, there are also community colleges, state colleges, and private colleges, all of which provide a college education but on a smaller campus than a university. Universities are generally quite large.)
