    In college or at the university? IN vs. AT THE When asking a student about their studies, I would either say: 1. "What are you studying in college?" Or, 2. "What are you studying at the university?" My question is, why say IN college or AT THE university? All I know is, that is how I would naturally say it in English, And I don't know why.

    The answer is not natural at all. "How can I help you?" "Thank you, but no thanks" or, "No thanks" I realize that the answere don't say "how", but the "no thanks" both acknowledges them and expresses the end of conversation.

    This is indicates something you have near or in your possession. It is, or that is, indicates something not near you. "This is mine and you can not have it." "That is mine, please give it back." For the most part, as far as I know, 'that is' and 'it is' are interchangeable.

    Both sets are correct. However, if your having a conversation and you have a thick (heavy) accent, I would stick to the second group. It's easier to both say, and hear, the word "if".

    Jesse, I would not use etc in this sentence. Etc is used more when there is a continuation. Example, "Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, etc.." If you can use the phrase "and so on", then you can probably use etc. Also, I would not use the word only in this sentence.

    Jill, unless your topic is specialized, I would think that simpler, conversational words are better used in everyday, casual conversations.
