College in America is not what we refer to in ME as كلية as people think, but it is closer to معهد. And when someone is said to have attended a community college, it is as going to معهد in the ME, Egypt in particular.

An undergraduate division or school of a university offering courses and granting degrees in a particular field. c. A school, sometimes but not always a university, offering special instruction in professional or technical subjects. d. The students, faculty, and administration of such a school or institution. e. The building or buildings occupied by such a school or institution. f. Chiefly British. A self-governing society of scholars for study or instruction, incorporated within a university. g. An institution in France for secondary education that is not supported by the state. 2.a. A body of persons having a common purpose or shared duties: a college of surgeons. b. An electoral college. 3. A body of clerics living together on an endowment. --attributive. Often used to modify another noun: college courses; college faculty.
