at this school of this school

Question

Are you a student at this school?
假設上文文法正確，為什麼是 "a student at this school" 而不是 "a student of this school?" 請賜教。

石破天驚 · Accepted Answer

Obviously, the main difference between "at this school" and "of this school" is the meaning of the two prepositions.

Definitions from Oxford dictionary:
"at" - used to say where somebody works or studies
"of" - belonging to something; being part of something; relating to something

Are you a student at this school?
The question focuses on the identity as a student.  
在這所學校，是否"學生"?  (或者是老師，工人等)

Are you a student of this school?
The question focuses on the school; you are a student at "which school"?  
是否"這所"學校的學生?  (我知道你是學生)

我想:
通常 student at a particular school or university. 尤其中小學
usage 問題, 慣用 at school

私立學校, 學生交學費便入去讀, 
無學費交, 便…  sense of belonging ? 學生流動性大

此連結解釋了 at school , in school, at the school

其實我想帶出一點，
"a student at this school" 和 "a student of this school" 也可以是正確的。

不要以為必定只有一個是對的。

"a student at this school" 指出 在這間學校這個地方（地點）的一個學生。

"a student in this school" 指出 在這間學校這個環境（場所）的一個學生。

"a student of this school" 指出 這間學校的一個學生。

其實在此情況 at 和 in 更難分辨，但你今次問 at 和 of 則應該可以分辨。

at this school of this school
