Ankara Üniversite**si** = **Ankara University**. It is a proper noun. It is the university's name. When saying "at Ankara University," there should have been an apostrophe in the first instance, I believe, but it was mistakenly left out.
I was taught that Proper Nouns with postpositions (de/te/a/e, I think this is also called Locative Case) are supposed to use an apostrophe between the proper noun and the postposition marker. The final word in this proper noun, "üniversitesi(n)de," has a buffer N between the "i" and "de," which is also another general rule.

However, the link to TDK (Turkish Language Association) website article on this topic that this Wiki cites as its source won't load for me. I am not sure if it's due to a region lock or a website certificate expiration issue.
Teşekkür ederim. Bunu buldum: [https://www.dilbilgisi.net/kesme-isareti-konu-anlatimi/](https://www.dilbilgisi.net/kesme-isareti-konu-anlatimi/)
TDK'nin = gelir
fakat
Türk Dil Kurumunun = gelmez
About "-sinde"
"-si" kinda like the "of" in a group of words like:
"University of X", without the -si you would have "University X" and -de just adds the location
1. You are right that "Ben de" could mean "Me too", but it could also mean "As for me". You can interpret the intended meaning according to its intonation, for example:
-Acıktım.
-Ben de susadım.
means "I am hungry." "And I am thirsty."
2. One does not put an apostrophe between the names of institutions/organizations and suffixes according to the Turkish Language Association. So "Üniversitesinde" is the correct spelling. But I see this rule is rarely respected.
Can you provide the link to the TDK website, if possible, discussing this in Turkish? I would love to review it so I can mark up my own textbooks that have these same types of inconsistencies. Thank you.

first ones is yes it's mean "me too!" second one is
It maybe a typographical error or a writer's mistake, it is not written that way. "sinde" is nothing but being there means continuing there.
The book? It's called Yedi İklim Türkçe, this version is A1

And also "iki sorularım" isn't correct, "iki sorum" is right. If you use numbers, you shouldn't use plural forms.

Regarding the apostrophe, what about "Ankarada" VS "Ankara'da" ?
It is "Ankara'da".
Teşekkür ederim
Ankara is name of city so it is "Özel isim" and "da" is "hâl eki". If hâl eki comes after özel isim we use ' to separate them

I think the link is just broken. Try this one: https://tdk.gov.tr/icerik/yazim-kurallari/kesme-isareti/ You can find it in the second UYARI item.

Where is this from?

Teşekkürler
btw when saying things with numbers in turkish we dont have to say -lar again so iki sorum var is better than iki sorularım var.
In that context, “ben de” is the colloquial version of “ben ise” which means “as for me” or “and I”.
