from a school

from a school
Philippine English
Many years after having graduated from an educational institution, Filipinos still say "I'm from Ateneo (or any other institution)." In standard English such a statement is understood to mean that the speaker is currently enrolled at or is employed by that institution. The equivalent expression in American English is: "I graduated from (or went to) Harvard." The equivalent expression in British English is: "I studied at (or was at) Oxford."
