What are the closest highways to where you went to college?

[DandyDan]

For Northern Illinois University:
State: IL 38 is on the south edge of campus.
Interstates: It's about 2 miles from campus to I-88.
US: It's about 12 miles west of campus to US 51 and about the same south to US 30.

MD 22/US 1/I-95

[bwana39]

TX-11, TX-24, and TX-50 run adjacent to the campus. TX-224 runs along the western edge of the campus property a mile or so west of the campus. IH-30 is less than ten miles to the south.

Stanford University:

Interstate 280 slices right through the ~14-square-mile campus. That's about 13 square miles more than the University really needs, but Leland Stanford donated his entire farm, and forbade the University from selling any of it -- except the new Interstate offered a rare opportunity to get paid for some excess campus lands, which probably made the eminent domain proceedings among the friendliest ever.

Bordering the campus, and also closer to its core: CA 82 (El Camino Real), and Santa Clara County G3 (Page Mill Road).

Not where I went to school, but Autoroute 740 cuts through the Laval University campus in Quebec city.

[TravelingBethelite]

I currently commute to school from farther away in Columbia, but from the heart of the Mizzou campus:

Interstate: I-70 runs through the north side of Columbia, about 1.75 miles away.
US: US 40's concurrency with I-70 is slightly closer, but standalone US 63 is about 1.8 miles to the east.
MO: Campus is surrounded by state highways, with both MO 163 and 763 about a third of a mile away on either side. MO 740/Stadium Boulevard runs east-west about a half mile south of campus.

[okroads]

My first college was near the interchange of I-44 & I-240, which also have duplexes with US 62 & OK 3. I finished college at a university on US 77, a couple miles west of I-35 & OK 66.

IL-43
US-45
I-290

[Skye]

Shawnee State University, Portsmouth, OH
US 23 runs right along the west side of campus (also US 23 Business terminates at US 23 at the west end of campus)
OH 73/OH 104 terminate together at US 23 on the west end of campus
I-64 down in Grayson, KY

Sacramento State University has US-50, CA-99, CA-51, I-5, I-80 and I-305 near the campus

[adventurernumber1]

From a roadgeek standpoint, I have a real treat on campus, as Interstate 75 is flowing, traffic and all, literally right in front of the campus (not even trees hinder the view). 

So that takes care of the interstate, but traveling south briefly will lead you to I-75's Exit 333, which is where GA 52 resides.

And traveling north for a slightly longer distance will land you at I-75's Exit 336, intersecting US 41/US 76.

So ultimately my college is no more than 2 miles from any of these highways (travel-wise), and physically I-75 is essentially right there.

You don't even need GA 52 for a state highway ... I-75 is unsigned GA 401.

Appalachian State:

NC 105, 194, and US 221, 321, 421 all run through town.

I-40 is the closest interstate 35 miles away, staright-line, about an hour fifteen drive down 221.
I-77 is the closest interstate by driving time, at 50 mins

[behogie230]

Interstate: I-76 (1/4 mile)
State Route: PA-230 (0 miles)
US Route: US-322 (2 miles)

[Concrete Bob]

I'm the third person on this thread to have attended California State University Sacramento (May 1988 graduate):

US 50; SR 16; SR 51/I-305, all within feet or miles of the campus. 

[michravera]

Sacramento State University has US-50, CA-99, CA-51, I-5, I-80 and I-305 near the campus

But the exit for CSU Sacramento is and has been US-50 and CASR-16 as I said earlier.

[TheHighwayMan3561]

Interstate - 35

US route - 2 - it formed the northern boundary of campus and for a good part of my 2nd-4th years was visible out my dorm window

State highway - 35

University of Louisville

State: KY 1020; runs through campus
US: US 60 Alt; runs through campus
Interstate: I-65; immediately adjacent to University owned campus... runs through campus when expanded to include privately owned student housing

For fun...
Railroad: Three separate freight railroads run through campus. One of which runs through the student activity center (more than just a pedway).

Correct!

Solano Community College another place I was a student at.


Fairfield , CA Campus near I-680(aka Former CA-21), CA-12, I-80 (aka Former US-40 and I-5W)
Vacaville, CA Campus near I-505@I-80 Interchange. 


Vallejo, CA Campus near I-80@CA-37

Ferris State University, Big Rapids, Michigan:
*Bus. US 131/M-20 runs along part of campus
*Northland Drive (unsigned Old US 131) runs through campus, complete with MDOT adopt-a-highway signs.

The US 131 freeway is west of town, and the closest Interstates would be I-96 and unsigned I-296 down in Walker.

[debragga]

ULM: Monroe, Louisiana


Interstate: I-20 - just under 2 miles to the south

US highway: US 80 (Desiard Street) - some of the older buildings on campus are right next to or on Desiard. US 165 (Sterlington Road) is a very close second due to the edge of farthest out commuter lots being one block away from the road.

State highway: LA 840-6 (Forsythe Ave/Forsythe Bypass - 1.5 miles northwest. Close second is LA-594 (Millhaven Road), which is right next to I-20.

[hobsini2]

I went to college at U of St Thomas in St Paul, MN. I-94 (and US 12) was, at most, a mile from my dorm (Ireland Hall).

[cpzilliacus]

University of Maryland at College Park:

U.S. 1 (Baltimore Avenue) goes through the campus.
MD-193 (University Boulevard) runs along the north edge of the campus and has intersections with three campus roads
I-95 is at an interchange slightly over two miles north of campus
I-495 (by itself, not with I-95) about 2.7 miles north and west

[wanderer2575]

Both go through town, and run concurrent for about a mile.

Nearest Interstate highway is I-75, about 42 miles east.

[JayhawkCO]

University of Kansas

Closest Interstate: I-70, about 2-3 miles north of campus
Closest U.S. Route - US59, goes directly through campus (any other schools that have this?)
Closest State Highway - K-10, about 2-3 miles south of campus
