Going slowly and inexorably insane, but that's the way that goes

Just how old is your average high school freshman?
If you'll forgive my ignorance.

If I'm doing my math right and subtracting the right amount of time from when I was one, I believe it's 15-16 years. Yea, that sounds about right.

We still have colleges and TAFE's. College is just Uni that's private. I think?

At least in the American sense, a University is a higher-education school with multiple colleges. For example, I attended the University of Virginia, but got my degree from the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia (and my minor from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Virginia; you can see why people just call them "the College" and "E-school"). Similarly, despite a long-running history of with the name "Mary Washington College", they decided to change their name to reflect their University status: University of Mary Washington. There may also be something to do with having Graduate programs in addition to undergraduate programs? But that might just feed back into the "more than one college" aspect. (Basically what Calobi said, but I'm more certain about this.)

I finished school many MANY years ago and specialised training around 2 years ago however I would actually like to go to the states just to take a few of those fun but worthless classes. Mainly shit like mythology, demonology, art. Stuff that really has no use but would be fun to try.
