	Yankee  +  453676 Sun, 16 Dec 07 01:01 PM Hi N2G I'd use at and away from.  The word in might be used instead of at, but I think at is better.  We usually use at to refer to a general location.

	Yankee  +  453753 Sun, 16 Dec 07 03:29 PM I'd thought of 'off-campus', too, but decided that I'd probably use 'off-campus' mainly to say generally "not directly on a campus", but 'away from' to talk about the specific distance from a particular campus.  I guess either might be used, though.
