Most people don't change after 2 years.
You graduate HS, and hopefully get into a nice University. Or at least a University, period. 9/10 you can get into one, just depends on your grades which level of prestige you're allowed access. Some people on the low end of the spectrum decide to go to Community College for a couple years for two reasons; it's cheaper, and it gives them a chance to prove to better Universities that they're worth admission. Then they transfer. Most of the time CC's have connections with local colleges that allow credits to transfer.
But the average HS to University student is probably the exact same situation as Europe. We just call all the Universities College because we don't give a fuck and fuck Europe.
