I know plenty of people who say campus for high school. I'm from Massachusetts. What other word is there that you could use? School property? School grounds? Those have a lot more characters, and since FML has a limit, campus would definitely be the best choice.

I've lived in Michigan and Maryland and I've never heard it, but maybe it's common enough elsewhere. It didn't make sense to me at all until I read the comments though. Just "grounds" would be fine for me, only one more letter.

In some parts of England, college grounds are called "campus". Theres quite a few of them, and "run some errands" is said often where im from (north west). I'll admit, i dont hear parking lot or store much, but still, quite a few younger people use them.

In Australia campus is used, especially if there's more than one grounds for a particular institute.

I'm from Illinois, and I've always said 'campus.' But it makes a lot of sense for my school because it's so freaking big.

In the US, schools are considered campuses, if the elementary, middle school and high school are all on the same grounds, within walking distances of each other. My school had a campus setting though no one there ever called it that. Moved an hour away and all of the schools here are proud of being campuses. I've heard school administrators from other states refer to their campuses as well

Grocery shopping, dropping off bills, something important at a younger sibling's school, doctors appointments for self or younger siblings, picking up their check from work if they have a job. Just because someone is in high school doesn't mean they don't have things to do.

If you're paraphrasing my FML there, there were reprecussions but they didn't fit into the 300 character limit. I do apologise.

I'm a university student and I call it school.
