Yeah, I noticed that when I would say things like "Are you in college?"
when chatting with Aussies (the response would often be "What?"). I
quickly picked up that the usual term (at least, among the couple of
Aussies I've chatted with) is "Uni", which I've since adopted for
myself, in addition to Chrissy for Christmas.
