German term or phrase: UniGestalten
Ein zweites Projekt des Instituts, von dem ich in meiner vorherigen Fragen sprach, ist "UniGestalten", (www.unigestalten.de)
Dies ist ein Ideenwettbewerb, bei dem es um Verbesserungen an den Universitäten im allgemeinengeht. Darunter kann alles Mögliche fallen. Auch hier suche ich eine entsprechend gute Übersetzung, die nicht "gestelzt" klingt.

Vielen Dank an alle Mitmacher.

neutral  Horst Huber (X): Just for now: Are you saying that for UK students "Uni" is the word for the schools they are attending?--- This reaction is a bit strange. In this town people, students, professors all refer to universities, colleges, etc. as "schools"

agree  Cilian O'Tuama: with JdM, NW and ASch.// Non-Pro/Pro is about the question, not the asker (who, BTW, doesn't claim ENS status; but then again, the Q is into Eng.). Ach, there are more important things to worry about :-)

neutral  784512 (X): with Brigitte, but I can't think of anything better. @ Horst, yes, we say uni. School for us sounds childish. Only exception would be the phrase "night school".
