[Grammar] I study/I am studying law

[Gunner1999]

Hi. I have another question, which is a bit confusing. I'm going to give you 2 examples.
- I study law at Harvard or I'm studying law at Harvard? Some English people use the first option and the others use the second one. Which one is more appropriate?
- I attend High School or I'm attending High School?
Thanks

I'm studying Law at Harvard.

I would say the continuous is more appropriate in this case, when spoken by a student. It gives the meaning of a temporary situation.

I go to high school.

Present simple is better here. It gives the meaning of 'every day', as a matter of routine.
