How to ​can I use "whilst at" in a sentence?

You used it correctly in that sentence.

There's no difference. AE speakers don't use 'whilst' much - if at all.

This is not my sentence.I don't understand why "whilst" "at " can be used together. Can I say "while at"?

[SoothingDave]

Yes, you can say "while at." Or "whilst at."

You can't very well say "while university," can you? A person isn't "university."

Read "at university" as "attending university" if it helps you to understand the structure. "While attending university."

[anniebobo]

Can I say "when at university?"

[Piscean]

You can.

[anniebobo]

You can.

Can I change the sentence structure like this?
“ Whilst at university, a part-time job can have a positive impact on your life.”

[GoesStation]

No. The job is not attending the university (as the sentence, read literally, suggests); you are.
