Should you capitalize the word 'university'?

Yes, the word 'university' should be capitalized when it is used as part of a proper noun or when it is the official name of a specific university. For example, in the sentence "I am studying at Harvard University," 'university' is capitalized because it is part of the proper noun 'Harvard University.' However, if the word 'university' is used in a general sense, such as "I am attending a university," it is not capitalized.
