These are British universities founded in the mid to late19th century through the mid 20th century.
The six original redbrick universities were The University of Birmingham, the University of Bristol, the University of Leeds, the University of Liverpool, the University of Mansfield, and the University of Sheffield. Today, the name is often applied to a much broader group of universities (roughly 20), most of which were founded in the timeframe I mentioned above.
The name apparently came from the red brick used to construct university buildings at the time.
See my source web sites below for more details.

There are no such things in the U.K. Community Colleges are somewhat similar to U.K. colleges, where people go for A-levels and vocational programs, which unless that is what you want to do, you would not be able to apply as no Bachelor's Degrees or postgraduate degrees are awarded, much like community colleges. But for you, they are useless since A-levels are not required for you, but SAT scores are. You would be applying to a university, there are no easy ones, just affordable ones and less afforadable ones.
