That just gives a campus a completely different feel than most traditional campuses. Arkansas has really made an emphasis on a dense, walkable campus. I can't imagine going to a school where I might drive across campus to get from class to class.
And downtown and Dickson is all right off campus. You really could live in Fayetteville without a car and enjoy everything a college student needs.

That includes a big portion of West Campus which is undeveloped and the Bush Library, which has a ton of greenspace around it and is isolated from the rest of the school. A&M's campus is very big, but Northgate is still walkable from most of main campus and if you have a bike you're fine with living in any of the neighborhoods close to campus.

TAMU's main campus is pretty walkable, actually. Yeah, it's big, but it's still more convenient to walk. It's when you have classes on West Campus (across the railroad tracks that parallel Kyle Field) that things can get a little dicey. Still, there's a pretty comprehensive bus system at A&M that makes all the main buildings easier to get to.
I used to walk across campus from the Corps dorms on the south side to my classes at the business school on West Campus. If I missed a bus, it was still only about a 15 minute brisk walk.

Actually most majors are concentrated on one side or the other. Business, agriculture, and vet school programs are on West Campus and everything else is on East Campus.
If any program has commute issues it's the Architecture program with its facilities split between East Campus and its research center way out at Riverside Campus (NW of Bryan).

its not that bad though. I walked or biked to nearly every class when I was there. Its huge but its basically all in the same self contained square. The only class I drove or bussed to was at the George Bush Library which was about 5 to 10 minutes away from the main campus depending on traffic and where you were coming from.
