Could you possibly tell me which one is correct? They used to go to the same school or they used to go at the same school.

Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.
See my amendments in red:
Always capitalize "I" (first person singular pronoun) and proper nouns (English, Iran).
Use inverted commas (" ") or quotes (' ') when necessary.
Use correct spacins after punctuation marks.
As 5jj told yoou already, the meaning of the second sentence is not clear.
Please be aware that I'm neither a native English speaker nor (at present) a teacher.
You can say "Will you stay at the same hotel when you come back?" or "Will you stay in the same hotel when you come back?" They are both correct.
#2 is not a correct English sentence. I don't know what you mean by "They used to go out at/in the same school". If you mean they attended the same school then you don't need the phrasal verb "to go out". You simply say "They used to go to the same school". Is that what you meant?
Remember the rules of written English:
- Start every new sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with the relevant punctuation mark.
- Always capitalise the word "I" (first person singular).
- Capitalise proper nouns (English, Iran etc).
Edit: Apologies for repetition of information. When I first started typing my reply, there were no other replies here.
Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.
Repetition is a good way (sometimes) to learn.![]()

Would you repeat that?
Ohhhhh, I'm having a serious case of déja vu here. Again.

'...to the same school' is correct.
You have edited your original post, Nima, which is not a good idea, as your new question could easily have been missed.
Please note that the default font size is adequate for most purposes and you only need to use bold words for special emphasis.
You do not gain any sort of advantage by appearing to shout at us.
