<p>And not a school within a city? I really don't get it.<br>
I'm at a very campus-y school right now and it's fun and all.
But I'd go to a school in a large city in a heartbeat. </p>
<p>Isn't college supposed to prepare you for the real world? And not replicate high school? (where everyone is the same age give or take). Well that's you get from a "campus". Everywhere I go and everyone I see is a college student. </p>
<p>What's the lure of a campus setting? </p>
<p>Discuss.</p>
<p>I don’t know. The school I want to go to most is in a frickin huge city. Maybe because a campus is like a little bubble?<br>
I think I would get seriously bored on a traditional campus…I need a big city nearby/live in a big city.</p>
<p>I don’t know, I like being around all types of people. I love seeing homeless people sleeping under the awning in front of my dorm. I love that people walk their dogs in our “quad.” I couldn’t handle living in a bubble.</p>

<p>College is its own experience.
Dont see it as a means to an end, see it as an end in itself.</p>
<p>I have a traditional campus two minutes from downtown Austin. So I have both.</p>
<p>Yeah, you can have both. My campus is in a bubble in a huge city. It helps it not be so spread out, and it makes me more comfortable, because sometimes I have to walk around campus alone at night, something I wouldn’t dare do in the city. It’s nice to have a transition to the “real world” that is a transition, and not just an entrance.</p>
