I think WashU’s campus is relatively medium sized. I don’t have exact dimensions, but the walk from the Brookings Quad (for all intesive purposes, where the campus starts) to the South 40 (main res area) is about 10 minutes (if ur walking @ normal speed). The buildings are all close together. The campus is closed so the only street you have to ever really cross is Forsyth (between the 40 and main campus); however, there is an underpass which goes under that street so u never really ever have to cross a street to move around campus. I’ve never had to use a shuttle to get around or anything. I think there are plenty of grassy areas on main campus and on the 40, in fact, the 40 centres around a huge grassy field, sand volleyball courts, basketball courts, and swings (an area known as the swamp) and I see kids playing frisbee and stuff around all the time. Although it is true some grass space may have been temporarily lost due to construction, that will all change one the new university centre and new social sciences and law buildings are built
