What's the right preposition to use with the verb "enroll"?
The dictionary says that one enrolls in a university, but today I heard a person saying
"The student enrolled at the school."
Is it right? Can I use both the prepositions "in" and "at"?
Solution 1:
I generally hear enrol at an institution, enrol in or on a programme or course, and if you are the mouthpiece of the institution, I hear enrol with us.
Here's Macmillan:
Enrol
VERB [INTRANSITIVE/TRANSITIVE] British English pronunciation: enrol /ɪnˈrəʊl/
if you enrol at a school or other institution, or if someone enrols you there, you put your name on the official list of its students or members
enrol at: Andrew cannot enrol at his local school because the class is full.
enrol someone in/on something: Isabelle enrolled her brother in a training programme for engineers.
Solution 2:
From Cambridge Dictionary Online :
Enroll at an institution
Enroll in/on/for a course/department
Enroll with someone
