I can’t wait to see how you approximate Georgetown; I don’t think I’d come within 5. There are a bunch of university owned properties including classroom buildings, some admin buildings, residence halls and a few dozen row houses which are part of GU’s housing lottery program. The couple maps I’ve looked at haven’t been entirely accurate.

Another thought I had was how are you considering cases where grad schools or certain other programs that are part of the main school, but not a part of or closely attached to the main campus? For example, our law school is located a few miles away in downtown DC. If I recall correctly, UCONN’s med school is on the opposite site of the Hartford metro from Storrs.

Looking forward to it!

I was a bit surprised by the number of buildings on the UConn campus. UC will clearly have the most buildings of all the Big East campuses — and it's understandable why (given its large enrollment and suburban setting). Not sure which will have the fewest but it might be Saint John's.

I don't count any buildings that are not located on the main campus. So the UConn med school building is not a part of the overall number.

Georgetown will, indeed, be tricky in that the university seemingly owns some buildings that (as you note) might not be on sites located contiguously to the main campus. I likely won't get a very accurate number for GU.

Conversely, Creighton will be easy to calculate.

I've been "studying" college campuses via Google Maps and Google Streetview for many years. It's something I've long enjoyed. And when the campuses are located in urban settings (as is the case with six of the 11 Big East universities), I find them doubly fascinating.

Good to hear you are enjoying this, VCE. And go, Hoyas.
