  Jose, first let me say I've been a GPS users for all of about a month now so 
not a huge amount of experience but here are some ideas.

  First, it's likely that the streets in your college are mapped.  I say this 
because the other day I was in a large apartment complex and even the unnamed 
streets used between buildings were appearing in the map and my location was 
accurate.  If they map apartments I'm sure they map universities.
      Next, even if not mapped you can still get a heading and distance to a 
POI.  You could mark the various buildings and locations with POIs so you could 
find your way back later.  Also, if the buildings aren't marked but the streets 
are working properly you could certainly define your own POI list that marks 
the facility.


  That's just my $.02, far more experienced and mobility skilled folks will 
probably give you better answers but that's a n00by's perspective.

    Hello; Listers, I have a question. Is it possible to use the gps in a 
college campus? How would I accomplish this? Please write back.
