At/in university

I have made up the sentence below.

(1a) When I was in university, I didn't make new friends.

My non-native English speaking friends think I should use "at", as shown below.

(1b) When I was at university, I didn't make new friends.

Which preposition is correct? Thank you for your help and time.
