going to a Nazarene university
Hi,
Can you tell me why one would use"a" here? Also, correct the sentence if needs to be (maybe, needs to capitalize the word "university")?
I am going to a Nazarene university.

Presumably there is more than one Nazarine university? In that case it is only one among several/many so you are going to a Nazarine university. If, however, Nazarine University is the name of the university you are going to, then it is a specific university and doesn't need 'a' and it would be a proper noun so university would be capitalised: I am going to Nazarine University.
