No, not universal...  simply because, for example, in Canada private boarding schools are very uncommon -  to say the least ... so people would never assume you lived at such a place as a school unless it was a University or college... and to tell you the truth, I don �t even know of any private or boarding schools... so if somebody said "I go to such and such a place" - I would assume it �s just another school...as would most other Canadians - at least where I am from...

To me it just sounds very, very strange... might be because we don �t really have them... let �s just say for me to "live" is basically to be permanent somewhere - and you live in the "dorms" of the school perhaps... BUT the school, the school is usually a building apart from them... See where my logic is going? It �s not the "school" you are sleeping, watching TV, hanging out, showering and eating in.. it is usually the dorm or somewhere off campus... That �s why "eye" (as Ivona says ) ... prefers "stays at/in" or "live at" but NOT "live in"....    And I think for what you pay at some boarding schools - it should be a hotel stay with room service included!!
