Definition
就读 (jiù dú) is a formal verb meaning 'to study at' a school, especially a higher education institution like a university. It's more formal than 上学 (shàng xué, 'go to school') and 念书 (niàn shū, 'study'), and typically appears with the school name and the preposition 于 (at). Use it in written or official contexts, not in casual conversation.
