I suspect most campus networks will have a single /48 from their NREN, or a /48 
PI. I’m not aware of any campuses in the UK which are multi-homed with dual 
/48, though I understand some Internet2 campuses may be. 

(As an aside we’ve just run out of our v4 /16…)

Homenet has ‘designed in’ future multihoming, which is rare today. In the 
homenet case the multihoming may presumably be more commonly for different 
services to the home?
