Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes write “Uni” with a capital letter in general statements (e.g., “I go to Uni”), but it is usually written with a small letter unless it is part of a name. Many learners also overuse “uni” in formal writing where “university” is preferred, and some confuse it with the combining form “uni-” meaning “one”.
