The answer

Your father must spend on you for your university studies, just as he did with your siblings. Your siblings are not obliged to spend on you; what they spent is considered a donation from them, and they do not have the right to reclaim it, unless they spent it with the intention of reclaiming it from you. This has no relation to the inheritance.
