I am in class vs I am at class

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I am in class' is used to indicate that you are physically inside the classroom where a lesson is taking place. 'I am at class' is not often used, but it would indicate that you are at the location where the class is held, not necessarily inside the classroom.
