It's all AU, but the only way it doesn't make a difference is if you don't read anything that's AU. If you do read them... well, most people have preferences. If someone wants to read an AU set in medieval times and all they can find are medieval fics where the characters are also psychic were-dragons, it's a bit precious to tell them that there's no difference because it's all AU.

That's your opinion, sure.

I read a metric fuckton of AU, and IMO it really doesn't matter whether your College AU is set in 1990 or 2018. Either way, it requires the exact same acceptance that, "Yo, this is not meant to be canon compliant."

Now if you want to add in, say, Vampires, then that requires an addition level of acceptance that, "Hey, so there's shit in this universe that doesn't exist in the real world." Or, if you want to set your fic in the 19th century, then sure, that adds in the additional level of acceptance that "this fic is going to be set in the past and things are gonna get historical up in here."
