This explains a lot.

2 types of people live on campus after their freshman year at A&M.

1. Corps because they have to.
2. Really socially awkward and creepy people who don't mix well with others.

CLA is on campus.

Founders Park is on campus.

Willy B is a 5 minute drive from campus and that distance is shortening quickly as the campus grows.

I would add
3. Greeks (mainly sophomores), which isn't really a blip in the total numbers of students who live on-campus after their freshman year

Dumbfrick...our Greek Village and the coliseum is within a 5 minute walk. I'd consider that campus.

And we don't have to step over huge, stinking piles of cow shite to get anywhere on or near our campus.

Oh...and the banks of the Congaree>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>your stupid arse pond/lake.

The first requirement is that you have to be a fan of an SEC team, so you pass that test.

Really, nothing is very far from campus in Fayetteville. It's a pretty small town.

Not that you deserve any kind of explanation, but for everyone else sake. The baseball stadium once was located just west of Barhill Arena and just south of the football stadium. But when it came time to build a baseball palace, there wasn't space to accommodate the new diggs, so it was build near the campus on flat ground. Same with the indoor track and field complex which is next to Baum Stadium. At the time of construction, the apartments and shopping complex did not exist. As for the space that was previously occupied by the baseball stadium, now is held by the football operations facility and the football practice fields.
