Hi trend7,
In British English we usually say "on the bus" which, I know, sounds like we are on top of the bus, but if you can look at it as saying "we are
on a seat in the bus" it might seem more logical (even if we are standing, we are standing
on the floor of the bus).
Usually we would say "at the university" but I don't see any reason why we can't say "in", "in" denotes "inside".
