As a native speaker of U.S. English, I would always say "at" (not in).
Google "he was a student at" (include the quotation marks) for many examples of this usage.

Here are some examples of how to use "at" and "in" correctly:
Use "at" when giving the name of a specific school/university.
Example: He is a student at Cambridge University.
Example: When Jane was a student at Princeton University, she had many friends.
Use "in" when naming a town/city/state/country:
Example: He studied in California for several years.
Example: We have been studying in Canada for two months now.
Use "in" when talking about a specific course/class:
Example: He sat next to me in my anthropology course.
Example: Susan is a student in Mrs. Brown's second grade class.

By the way, this should be an English/English question since there is no Arabic involved.
