I wish to be able to apply what I learn at/from any institution, and make a significant contribution to society. Dickinson clearly states that its students are “poised to contribute in fields including law, medicine, scientific research, the arts, public service, education, community service, environmental studies, the military and religion.”

Should I use 'at' or 'from'?

Thanks in advance.

@tanguatlay,

There is a possible difference in meaning dependent on the one you choose.

I think you want "from".

You could say that what you learn at a school are those things that are in the curriculum while what you learn from a school is the product of its values and history as an institution.
