Default Re: "in" and "at"

To the best of my knowledge one studies at a university.
"At" is more abstract. "In" refers to your physical presence in a university. Are you always phisically present in the university while studying? No. You study at home, in the park, anywhere you want. The thing is you do it at an institution and graduate from that institution. This is way we use an abstract "at".
