I got trapped on DuPont once for 5 or 6 loops. I was finally able to exit, but not where I wanted. I just made my escape when I saw a chance.

Whenever I hear it I think, "That's a really tall toddler." round-a-bout is baby talk.

This is a problem with any urban campus. You say, "Tons of people's commutes run straight through campus". and that is true, but it is more accurate to say that the city, and it's commuters, were around before the "campus" such as it is. The school has expanded greatly by buying whole city blocks, but they are still city blocks. When we think of other large state schools, there aren't any pedestrian deaths. GMU has a discreet campus, separate from the town. VPI, separate campus from Blacksburg. VSU, VMI, JMU... all have campuses that are not simply in whatever building the school can purchase. So, while it is fair to say that people drive through campus, it is equally fair to say students are running through public streets.
