What figure of speech does the phrase "zoomed into and through the university" belong to?

It could be a couple different ones... it really depends what "it" is. Like the answer above, it is a metaphor, because you are relating "it" to something that zooms (i.e. a cameral lens). It is also an onomatopoeia, because "zoom" is a sound. Hope this helps!!

It's a metaphor because you are comparing yourself (or whoever the sentence is talking about) to a camera lens that "zooms"

The phrase "zoomed into and through the university" is primarily a metaphor that conveys rapid, energetic movement, creating vivid imagery for the reader. It represents a non-literal interpretation of ascribing speed and enthusiasm to someone's journey. This use of figurative language enriches the text by making the movement more relatable and dynamic.
