    There is a 3rd option 'to enter university'. The is a specific place, a is not specific (one of many), no article means he begins formal study as a phase of life, his 'career' as a student. – wetcircuit Nov 03 '21 at 16:22

    Welcome to ELL. Please visit the question I linked above. Also, it is *a university, not an university* because 'university' starts with a consonant sound (ignore the vowel letter 'u'). – Void Nov 03 '21 at 16:23

    As a side note, "university" is pronounced like "you-niversity", so it would take "a" not "an". – IMSoP Nov 03 '21 at 16:23
