Between or Among?

You use ‘between’ for a specific location.
She’s standing between the mice.

‘Among’ is used when the location is general.
I love to get out to the park and walk among the trees.

You use ‘between’ when you specify who or which.
I can chose between Sydney University, UTS or Macquarie.

But when you generalize, you say ‘among’.
I can chose among several universities.
