I am not sure if you are serious.
Did you say that you had been to Tech's campus?

What makes a campus traditional?

Compact, contiguous campus, campus life over commuter life, plenty of student apartments, abundant Greek life, on-campus sports facilities, more younger age students than older adults going back to school

We have different visions of a traditional campus.
To me, traditional campuses are away from major cities.
That allows them to have more space.
They look less like a large high school and more like a small village/town. The city/municipality of a traditional college campus is basically an outgrowth of the university. Everything in the town revolves around the university.
And the percentage of commuter students driving into Atlanta for GT is 70%. Every school inside Atlanta is commuter life.
You are free to have your opinion about GiT being a traditional college campus. But to be frank, no inner city college will ever be "traditional" in that regards.
I get it. Your weird attraction to GT is the fact that it is in the city (not your misguided notion of what a traditional campus is).

Have you seen all the growth geared toward Tech’s campus all along I-75 and across the highway in Midtown? It’s insane. You can literally walk from campus across the bridge and have everything at your choosing. I don’t even like Tech that much. My argument originally was just stating that I don’t understand why Tech is so second tier in the state of Georgia as far as sports. Everyone seems to like UGA. I just figured there would be more of a balance. Now Georgia State, I will agree has no campus and can see having no real fanbase

You showed yourself wrong. Saying Warner Robins is south Georgia is like saying Kansas is south USA. Savannah also is east central. I guess it's borderline south. Warner Robins is not.

In no way.
In the SEC you could say maybe Texas is similar, a campus in the middle of the city that people can kind of forget even exists and even when it's gameday you wouldn't know unless you were within 200 yards of the stadium.

They have a clearly defined campus that is not spread through the city. They have a huge area around Midtown devoted to Tech. I would call that a regular campus

If you split Georgia in half it would be on the southern portion

Tech's campus is swallowed by the city of Atlanta. It's concrete, congestion, and zero charm. For quite some time, they've graduated students who have no allegence to Tech's sports teams. Half the students on campus would struggle to name a single player on the football team.
Meanwhile, Athens is charming while Georgia's campus is a classic blend of history and expansion. Alums are Bulldogs until they die.

I think you are talking about Georgia State’s campus. The rest might be true

Georgia State blends into downtown. It's hard to tell where its "campus" begins and ends. Georgia Tech is in midtown. There's a distinct campus but it's been swallowed by that part of the city. That's still not a "typical" college campus. A typical, desirable college campus is what you find in Athens, Chapel Hill, Charlottesville, Tuscaloosa, Clemson, Auburn...
I'm not convinced you've ever been to a real college campus.

Been to Georgia, Tech, Ole Miss, State, FSU, USF, Clemson, South Carolina, La Tech, ULM, Memphis, Vandy, Tennessee, Western Kentucky, Kentucky, Florida, Louisville, Cincinnati, Ohio State, Buffalo, Eastern Michigan, Michigan, Michigan State, Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame. I would say I have seen some college campuses before

Also Alabama, UAB, Jax State, and Auburn

If that's true, then you should know the difference between Georgia Tech and a traditional college campus.

It’s true. And GA Tech is still a traditional campus
