@Kirill ...a student at a university.
In denotes your physical location as inside the building.
I'd say of works as well; however, it's not something you hear often, at least in my experience as a non-native speaker of English.
By contrast, I've never heard by used in that context.
@GunsnFish Welcome.

@Kirill The article determines the whole thing; it's not part of the university's name in that phrase.
@Kirill It's "the Columbia University School of the Arts", by the way.
@Kirill You can say of in English as well: Google Ngrams will tell you it's not that common, but it's not wrong either.
