urban campus
Metropolitan college grounds
An urban campus is a college or university grounds located within a city, typically integrated into the surrounding streets and neighborhoods rather than set apart on dedicated land.
Unlike traditional campuses with defined boundaries and green quads, urban campuses often share blocks with businesses, residences, and city infrastructure: NYU's urban campus spreads across Greenwich Village.
Students navigate city sidewalks between classes rather than pastoral paths.
