Usage notes
Inne i sounds better for being inside a house, as inuti puts a weird emphasis on the location as within ("in the bowels of") the house (possibly also stuck in a wall). Inne i implies a point of entry and plenty of space, while inuti sounds cramped and/or inaccessible. It is perfectly understandable either way though.
- Jag är inne i huset ― I'm inside the house
For a building one is normally inside for a particular reason (with which it is associated), like a club, a museum, a hospital, or a station building at a train station, inne på is common, putting less emphasis on the building itself and more emphasis on the activity it's associated with. This is also used for attending social media.
- Jag är inne på klubben ― I'm in (inside) the club
- Jag är inne på stationen ― I'm in the station building
- Jag är inne på Facebook ― I'm logged onto Facebook
Dropping the inne makes things even less about the building.
- Jag är på klubben ― I'm at (attending) the club
- Jag är på stationen ― I'm at the train station
- Jag är på Facebook ― I'm on Facebook (have an account)
- Jag är vid klubben ― I'm at (standing outside) the club (for comparison)
For attending school, i is also common.
- Jag är i skolan ― I'm at school
