Large universities with campus rail stations

[Cirrus]

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.

Images/maps aren't loading for some reason, but does the Arizona State stops include the Downtown Phoenix campus, or just the Tempe (main) campus?

I'll do Google Map links, but the ones I can immediately think of:

California State University, Los Angeles.
Metrolink (commuter rail) station at the southern end of campus:

San Diego State University.
Light rail station in the southeastern section of campus:

Montclair State has a major Midtown Direct (NJ Transit) station right on campus.

SUNY Stony Brook has a LIRR station right next to campus.

Princeton has a brand new NJ Transit station right on campus.

Rutgers is a maybe. The main (New Brunwick) campus has a NE Corridor (NJ Transit-Amtrak) station right on campus, but the campus is heavily urbanized and intertwined with mixed-use non-university functions. It feels like a Penn.

for chicago:


loyola univesity - loyola station on the red line across the street from campus

depaul university - fullerton station on the red/brown lines in the middle of campus

UIC - UIC-halsted station on the blue line adjacent to campus to the north

IIT - 35th bronzeville-ITT station on the green line at the south end of campus

university of chicago - univ. of chicago/59th street station on metra electric district commuter rail line on the eastern edge of campus



then there are the downtown schools (roosevelt university, columbia college, school of the art institute, northwestern downtown, depaul downtown, etc.) that all have nebulously defined "campuses" intertwined with the built environment of downtown that are easily accessed by rail transit.




northwestern's main campus in evanston is close to 3 different stops on the purple line, but all of them are at least a couple of blocks from campus, so it doesn't count for this exercise.

Temple University in Philly has one. It's one of the 4 stations (30th Street, Suburban, and Jefferson (Market East) are the others) that's connected to the entire SEPTA system.

I think Rutgers/New Brunswick stop would fit the criteria. The train station is on the same block as the main campus book store.

Princeton famously has the "dinky" IIRC.

[SIGSEGV]

BU
Northeastern
Longwood schools
Stanford Campus technically starts by Caltrain but it's all palm trees
SFSU
Miami I think
Illinois State kind of
WashU in STL
UNH
Tufts medical
Chicago State (metra sorta)
BC
Loyola New Orleans
Case Western
WVU
Utah
East Lansing's station might technically be on MSU's campus

Many more outside the US

University of Toronto, Ryerson University and York University all have subway stations on campus.

[TWAK]

Sacramento has stops for its community colleges, Sac City and Cosumnes River College...if you will allow it.
Sac State's light rail station is a mile away from campus...so that doesn't count. They were going to put an automated people-mover to connect with the actual campus, but I think they are just using automated busses.

In Canada, if the city has a rail rapid transit system and a university, then that university will have its own rail station, unless those cities are in Metro Vancouver*.

*EDIT: Also Mount Royal university in Calgary doesn't have a station.

UC Berkeley has a BART station one block away from campus, so unfortunately it doesn't quite meet the criteria:

University of Houston and University of Houston - Downtown both have Metrorail stops. Rice and TSU have a stop near-by

[BrownTown]

The blue line extension in Charlotte terminates at UNC-Charlotte. Not currently operational though.

Georgia State also has a MARTA station immediately off campus.

WVU and the experimental PRT will always be a memory (albeit blurry) of my time spent at WVU. 5 stations including Medical Center, Engineering Sciences, Walnut, Towers, and Beechurst. Developed in the early 1970's by Boeing, and quickly taken to heart as it connected the new Evansdale campus with the old downtown campus. On a personal note after a year in the freshman dorms (Brooke Tower, of the towers station) I finally got a car out there. Driving was fun out in West Virginia, we'd pile in the old Chevy several deep to head up to Pittsburgh to see the Cubs play the Pirates. Ohhh college and your indelible hazy memories.

Go Mountaineers!!!

Tulane University, Loyola New Orleans, Tulane Medical School, LSU Medical School and Delgado Community College are all in close proximity to street car stops in New Orleans.

One more super obvious one at Penn: University City station.

There are other colleges that are walkable to rail stations but, like Northwestern, are at a distance of several blocks (North Central College, Concordia University, North Park University to the Brown Line, etc).
