In/at the university

Hello,
We usually use 'in' before a place when we want to tell that someone is actually 'inside' that e.g. building.
For instance, I think Kate is in the bank right now.
But if we are not quite certain we may say: I think Kate is at the bank.
It means she might be IN THE BANK or OUTSIDE the bank.
If the name of the place is mentioned we can say: at the Oxford university.
Would you mind letting me know if what I mentioned above is right or wrong.
Thank you in advance

But...She is enrolled at Oxford University. She is enrolled in the university.
Everything else is OK.
