I attended a very large university in the U.S. that held classes in a
number of "satellite" campuses that were kms from the main campuse.
The attitude of university admin was that it was entirely the students
responsibility to get to those campuses.  

If you took a class at one of the remote facilities, that was YOUR
choice and you dealt with the trials and tribulations of getting there
(you knew where the class was held when you signed up).  It didn't
help matters for me that the majority of classes for my major were at
one of the "satellites".  BTW, the only solution was to not schedule a
class when you had to make the commute.  

I might add that you're lucky you can get between some classes on your
campus within ten minutes.  On the large campus I was at, you were
lucky to be able to RUN between some classes in ten minutes.  8-)
