Hi N2G I'd use at and away from. The word in might be used instead of at , but I think at is better. We usually use at to refer to a general location.

at / either (I think I would 'off' more often, probably because a location is either on-campus or off-campus.)

I'd thought of 'off-campus', too, but decided that I'd probably use 'off-campus' mainly to say generally "not directly on a campus", but 'away from' to talk about the specific distance from a particular campus. I guess either might be used, though.

dear person concerned
I want to know "a national seminar will be conducted in the college campus" is correct or "a national seminar will be conducted on the campus" is corrected?
thanks
