 Yes, that indeed is fine, but then it is a single campus, which even a tourist 
could identify.  
The problem with THE Cambridge University  (as with Oxford,also) is that the 
colleges are all over the town and there is no campus.  Blame the founders in 
of the colleges in the thirteenth and fourteenth Centuries, who clearly gave no 
thought to the poor mappers in OSM.
