Should I use the proposition at or in?

Often the difference between at and in is this: 

at = general

I'm at work (the idea that I am busy and working)

I'm at the beach (I'm sunbathing, swimming, maybe leaving the sand to have a drink at a bar)

in = physical

I'm in the office. (I am physically in a specific location)

I'm in the classroom  (I am physically in a specific location)

However, sometimes you can use either. Abstractly, you can say I'm in OR at university and it means the same = that is your occupation or that is physically where you are. 


How did we do?
