Hello! It's been ages since my last visit and there's loooots of new stuff, but I hope that some things never change and it's the help provided here.
We've always been taught to use the article 'the' with 'university', even when referring to the typical activities here (in contrast to 'at school / church / hospital' etc). Then a different teacher said 'the' is used with 'university' only in British English (??). Later another one claimed it should be always dropped when concerning studies: enter university / graduate from university / at university / go to university / we've got 3 classes at university today ... The same concerns the word 'market'. Now I'm lost and don't know what to believe. Could you please clarify it all? Thanks in advance!!!
