Why is it ” I’m at work” but ” I’m in class”? Why does ” I’m in work” or “I’m at class” sound wrong grammatically?

In English, we typically use “at” for a specific place, and “in” for a general place.
“I’m at the mall.” “She’s at home” = specific place
“I’m in New York.” “I’m in line.” = more general/ vague
Class doesn’t really specify a specific location, but you DO say “I’m at school,” because that is.
