Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
It is permissible for the individual to refer to the one who permits completing the prayer in this situation, and in other details, they should follow the rulings of Sayyid Khamenei. Thus, they can pray completely on the way back from the work-related travel. However, if they stay there for several days (less than ten days) for reasons other than work, such as visiting or leisure, then it is recommended to combine between shortening and completing the prayer on the way back.
Therefore, your obligation at the place near the university and on the way back is to perform the complete prayer.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
A frequent traveler must perform the complete prayer in all their travels, whether for study, work, leisure, or other reasons, provided they meet the criteria of being a frequent traveler. To determine if you meet this criterion, you can refer to Question 1240.
