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

[SectorZ]

I crossed MA 113 multiple times per day at U-Mass Lowell. US 3 and I-495 are the winners in those respective classes for closest.

[jlam]

I haven't been to college yet, but these are the ones I am thinking of going to.

The University of Arizona:

Interstate: I-10, about one and a quarter miles away to the west.
US Highway: US 191, over 55 miles away.
State Highway: AZ 210, half a mile away, just south.


Colorado State University:

Interstate: I-25, almost 4 miles away to the east.
US Highway: US 287, along the eastern edge.
State Highway: CO 14, about half a mile northeast.


University of Illinois:

Interstate: I-74, one and a half miles north.
US Highway: US 150 and US 45, along the northwest edge.
State Highway: IL 10, about 1 mile northwest.

<1 mi to I85
<2 mi to I65
<2 mi to US80, US82
<5 mi to US31, US231, US331
<5 mi to AL152(only one not hidden on any of the others)

State: 81
US: 151
Interstate: far away.

If we're talking about any routes that run through a college campus, both KY 52 and KY 876 pass through the campus of Eastern Kentucky University. I also believe KY 94 does the same for Murray State University.

Western MA for the prestige win for state highways going through campuses...

MA 2 - Williams College
MA 9 - Amherst College, Smith College
MA 116 - Mount Holyoke, UMass, Hampshire

[US 89]

Utah's SR 282 is a multi-segment route located entirely within the University of Utah campus. Matter of fact, most state colleges and universities in Utah have or once had a designated state highway serving their campus.

University of Delaware:

State route- DE 273 cuts right through the middle of campus, DE 896 and DE 4 border the campus to the south.  DE 72 borders on the east.
US Highway- US 40 is about 4 miles south of campus.
Interstate- I-95 is a mile south of campus.

My first baccalaureate degree was at UCR, immediately adjacent to (then) CA 60 and US 395.  When I started in '67, 60 was still signed as a US highway, but that changed within a year.  2nd one (a BPA) was from USF (that's the University of San Francisco, not U of South Florida!); took classes at both their SF and Sacramento campuses; the former about equidistant from US 101 (the Lombard section) and CA 1 (Park Presidio); the latter, across the American River from Sacramento State, was close to US 50 as well as CA 16 (would reach it from the Howe Ave./CA 16 exit). Masters' from Sonoma State U.; closest highway was the multiplex of US 101 and CA 116.  PhD (public policy), PSU (Portland); my grad-assistant office overlooked I-405; US 26 marked the other (north) end of campus.  I-5 was a mere 6 blocks east as well.

If we're being technical, my college was directly on a (still unbuilt) extension of CA-14 through the San Fernando Valley. If we're only counting reality, then it wasn't too far from CA-118.

[Techknow]

UC Santa Cruz:

State Route: 1-3 miles away from CA 1, CA 9, and CA 17. CA 100 is an honorary mention of a freeway loop connecting CA 1 and CA 17 which remains unbuilt in part due to UCSC.
US Highway: 20+ miles from US 101. Need to get on CA 1 east, exit onto CA 129 which will end at US 101, nice way to clinch that highway I guess.
Interstate: I-880 at San Jose, just get on CA 17 north which becomes I-880 at the I-280 junction!

University of Iowa:
-Interstate: I-80, two miles north of campus
-US: US 6, runs through campus
-State: IA 1, also runs through campus

[ET21]

Northern Illinois University:
-Interstate: I-88 two miles south of campus, I-39 12 miles west of campus
-US: US 30 about 12 miles south of campus
-State: IL-38 and IL-23 run through town. IL 64 is on the north fringe of town about 5 or so miles.

The US45/US150 duplex weaseled its way through the north side of my campus.

[planxtymcgillicuddy]

Not in college, but I'll cover the closest one to me:

Appalachian State University:
US-321 and 421 passes about a half-mile north of the campus, with US-221 passing about a half-mile east of the campus.
I-40 is about 55.5 miles south of the campus, with I-77 53.7 miles east of the campus, I-81 50.6 miles north of campus, I-26 95.6 miles away, and I-85 78.8 miles away

[akotchi]

Penn State:
I-99 is the nearest interstate, though it did not exist when I went there.
U.S. 322 is the nearest U.S. route -- it was on Atherton St., which is now the business route, while I attended school. It is now on the Nittany Expressway.  U.S. 220 runs with I-99 past the university.
PA 26 is the one-way couplet of Beaver Ave. and College Ave. that separates campus from town.

Utah's SR 282 is a multi-segment route located entirely within the University of Utah campus. Matter of fact, most state colleges and universities in Utah have or once had a designated state highway serving their campus.

Most or all of the roads on the grounds of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville are considered VA-302 and maintained by VDOT. 

Similarly, VA-314 is the designation for the roads serving Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Montgomery County.

VA-321 is the access road to the College of William and Mary.  Not clear to me if that includes the roads on the William and Mary campus or not.

VA-331 serves James Madison University.

These four photos tell most of the story for Platteville.









US-151 is the main highway, travelling northwest up from Dubuque towards Dodgeville and Madison. WI-80 and WI-81 (two-lane roads) connect Platteville to Galena, Montfort, Lancaster, and Darlington. WI-11, south of Platteville is the main east-west highway across the southern edge of Wisconsin. And US-61, US-20, US-18, and US-52 are all relatively nearby as well. You have to go pretty far to reach an Interstate, which I've written about in a previous thread.

I see no US 52 sign above. Was that last photo taken after the road was rerouted out of downtown Dubuque?

[HighwayStar]

Um, I-76 I guess? Theoretically US 13 as well?
