It was almost as pretty as Wesleyan, Princeton, the University of Virginia, Duke, Chapel Hill, Michigan, Michigan State, Berkeley, Stanford, UCLA, Claremont, McGill, Cambridge, Leiden, Heidelberg, Tübingen, and at least a dozen or so other campuses [...]

Neither Heidelberg nor Tübingen (Eberhard-Karls-Universität - my alma mater) have anything that resemble a "campus" in the common American sense.

Heidelberg has a school campus that you can indeed walk through. You’re missing his point and slicing the pie a bit thin.
