The four years you spend discovering exactly how little you knew, on a payment plan.

means Short for university — the institution of higher education you attend after secondary school, or, informally, the whole experience of being there.

from Simply a clipping of 'university,' which traces back through Old French to Latin 'universitas' — meaning 'the whole,' or a corporation/guild of people united as one body. The word originally described the community of scholars and teachers itself, not the buildings; 'uni' is just modern mouths trimming a long Latin word down to something you can say without catching your breath between lectures.
