OD, there is a danger of hijacking this thread. If you have a question about a construction in someone else's thread, please copy the relevant passage and open a new thread with your own question.

Edit: As you can see, I have moved your question and started a new thread with it.

Odessa, did you want to use 'at' instead of 'in'? In AmE students study 'at' a university rather than 'in university'.

"I study history at a university in Texas." Or, "I study history at the University of Texas."

What would you say in Saudi Arabia?

Not in British English. In fact, we don't normally study at university; we are at uni(versity), or we study a subject at a place -

Both my children are at uni(versity) now.
I am studying Philosophy at Durham*.


*The assumption is that the place named is a university, unless we specifically state otherwise:

George is studying Engineering at Middleton Tec.

Apologies if I have confused the issue here. I already moved the potential hijack posts and started a new thread. However, OD very successfully took my suggestion and started a new thread for the new query as well, leaving us with two separate threads by OD, called "in/at university". I have now merged those two threads!

I would use the preposition at.

Examples:

I did study English language at … University.
I attended … University as a student majoring in English language.
I was a student at … University.
