It's a typically Japanese problem. The university you come from determines your status in society. First thing men do when meeting someone their age is ask which University they graduated from. If it's one of the big four, you're set for life and can look down on the others.

Here, I guess that being the scion of a well-off family, he's expected to enroll in a prestigious university, like Tokyo Daigaku, so he attends a cram school and is pressured to get in. But obviously, he can't keep up. C is really bad. It's even worse if he got siblings that are better than him. And if he's a failure, it's suicide for him.

So, yeah, he doesn't have the leisure to have fun with girls.
From what I understand just GRADUATING is all that's important. Unless you're in the first few positions in the rankings your degree as "last in class" is just as good as the person just outside of the "elite" rankings.

Colloquially, college and university are often used interchangeably in the US. Technically, read this article because there's too much to explain without writing a massive reply.

You'll hear someone say "back in my college days" even if they went to a large university. It's just easier to use a two-syllable word instead of a five-syllable word when the different isn't that important to the context, especially when the mouth movements of "college" (primarily tongue movement) require far less effort than "university" (lots of mouth shaping). That will carry forward into writing styles as well.
I just say "back in uni" like a normal person... =)

People, even me, are feeling bad for this side character chick that probably wouldn't be making another appearance later on and it's hilarious.

Since everyone’s throwing their theories out there I’m gonna bank it all on the “miyu killed miyu” theory since the whole plot of this manga so far is how fickle everyone really is, no matter who they are if things get desperate enough, self interest will win over. “Miyu‘s” life was supposedly horrible before she met (real) Miyu and that alone is enough for this clearly deranged psychopath to kill her and take her place, then proceed to go to her hometown under the guise of “solving a murder” just to pervert her memory even further, we’ll know the specifics eventually but baring a cop out like it actually being a fucking teacher or one of the clearly red herring elementary classmates who haven’t even seen each other in years, much less miyu, and clearly all have their own issues I can’t see any other conclusion making much sense.

Ill probably end up being wrong and something even more ridiculous will be the answer but regardless im sure the murder mystery is just gonna end up being a back drop of the real story between MC and (maybe) “Miyu” finding out that the (real) miyu wasn’t at all like they thought she was yet still cherishing her even if all they were loving/imitating was fake

Haruto is such an ass. It doesn't matter what led him to be that way he still deserves a good shanking.
