showed up in class vs showed up to class

Both phrases are commonly used in English, but have slightly different meanings. 'Showed up in class' implies the person physically arrived at the location where the class is taking place. On the other hand, 'showed up to class' suggests the person arrived at the specific class they were supposed to attend.
