Large universities with campus rail stations

The title is pretty self-descriptive. Show me what you've got.

Please be selective and ONLY show either specifically on-campus or immediately off-campus (like across the street) rail stations. If the station is a few blocks away then please leave it out of this thread. I want to see fully integrated stations & campuses. Any rail mode is fine as long it's rail; leave your BRT at home.

Here are the ones I can think of:

Harvard University, Boston (Cambridge):
Subway station immediately off campus to the left.



MIT, Boston (Cambridge):
Subway station amid the street grid campus is built on.



Columbia University, New York:
Subway station on the western edge of campus.



University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University, Philadelphia:
There are at least two stations in this image. 34th Street subway station on Market Street near the top is adjacent to Drexel. There is also an underground trolley station on Spruce Street near the bottom, surrounded on all sides by UPenn.



George Washington University, DC:
Subway station amid the street grid campus is built on.



University of Maryland, DC (College Park):
Light rail station does not exist yet but is under construction now. The Purple Line light rail will traverse Campus Drive, and will have multiple on-campus stations including one in front of the student union in this image. The existing College Park Metro station is too far off-campus and does not qualify for this thread.



University of Minnesota, Minneapolis:
Light rail station directly in the center of campus, along an arterial street.



University of Denver, Denver:
Light rail station near the top left. Campus extends both north and south of the highway.



Metropolitan State University, Denver:
Light rail station on the southern edge of campus.



University of Houston, Houston:
Two light rail stations on the outer edge of campus.



Arizona State University, Phoenix (Tempe):
There are three light rail stations cutting diagonally across the image, and several additional streetcar stations under construction along the outer periphery.



University of Washington, Seattle:
Underground light rail station near the bottom right.



Portland State University, Portland:
Streetcar cuts through the campus' central square.



University of Southern California, Los Angeles:
Light rail station on the southern edge of campus.
