I graduated from university in vs I graduated from the university in

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. "I graduated from university in" is more commonly used in British English, where "university" is often used as a mass noun. On the other hand, "I graduated from the university in" is more common in American English, where "university" is often used with the definite article "the." Both forms are acceptable, so the choice between them depends on the regional variation or personal preference.
