CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@dwarn But one also says that I go to university or I am in university. You can similarly be on a school campus. So my kids are in university and my kids are on the high school campus are both totally fine to say. I can't identify a difference between how schools and universities are treated here I think, just between the concept of an institution versus the physical grounds..

NB: people disagree does not mean "people accept either". It means I watched multiple Danish people vehemently argue about that.

A fresh Danish horror:

"Da jeg gik **i** skole, ..." (When I went to school, ...)

"Da jeg gik **på** uni, ..." (When I went to uni)

Elementary, middle school = i
University, højskole = på
High school = people disagree (personal data suggests southern jutland uses på, mid Jutland uses i)

Why.
