<p>Typically with large universities having more than one campus, you have the main campus and satellites that are set up for the convenience of students who for various reasons can’t attend the main campus. The satellite campuses typically serve more non-traditional, part-time, and commuter students and typically have less to work with in resources and facilities. These are generalities, so they may not be true in all cases.</p>
