English people are likely to stay at university or at hospital. American English speakers are more likely to say in/at the hospital.
Oddly Americans say at school as frequently as in the school or in school or at the school. There may be slight differences in meaning. A student is at school a visitor would be at the school. The meanings blend and there is no strong rule here
