Usage Note

Università is feminine and invariable, so l'università and le università look identical; the final stressed 'à' carries the accent. You say andare all'università for 'to go to university'. Italians often shorten it casually to l'uni.

"Studio matematica all'università."

Natural Translation

I study mathematics at university.
