First of all, it doesn't look like the original campus was fully built out. Additionally, the medical school just vacated. Next, there is a golf course across the street with a footprint that would double the campus size. Golf is falling out of style, and Buffalo is getting a brand new Jack Nicolas course, so there'll be no net loss. Student housing can be spread up and down Main St and use the existing rail.

I actually agree, but we know that the NIMBY aspect may come into play in regards to the Grover Cleveland Golf Course.
I was also thinking of parts of the city just east of Main Street and in turn, could offer employment for an area of town that needs it, while still being right next to the rail line.
Here's a novel idea--As the UB north campus has been bemoaned from the start, instead of extending the rail, start moving back into the city
Sure, that’s a good idea. A combined, cohesive campus closer to the heart of the city is better for the students and better for the city. However, what will you do with the campus they’d be departing then?
I say extend the light rail regardless whether the campus is moved or not.
