Italian word

università

university

Looks like

university

an institution of higher education

⚠️ The trap

True cognate, but in Italian you go 'all'università' (to university) without saying 'the university of a specific city' in casual speech. Also, Italian students say 'faccio l'università' not 'vado all'università' sometimes.

To say "an institution of higher education" in Italian:

università (same meaning)

"università" in English means:

university

Example

"Studio all'università di Bologna."

"I study at the University of Bologna."
