Depends on the state you are in..... Here in Colorado the state Supreme Court just slapped University of Colorado around for banning CC, UC even has put out info to staff (read liberal proffs) that they can do nothing about students with CCWs carrying in class. At Colorado Mesa University I have encountered a member of the city's campus detail while OCing and he only made a comment on my "Gunny Glock" hat.
The wife is director of the library at CMU and in a meeting with the university VP over security and the sergeant over the police detail assigned to the campus about a stalker problem one of her employees has been having told them [paraphrase] I have my concealed carry permit and until this is resolved I will be carrying my gun to work[/paraphrase]. The VP just said "You do what you have to do to be safe".
So if you are looking for a university that respects freedom, come on out to western Colorado!

In NV, you must have the permission of the college's dean or president. For the NV public colleges, you can ask, but you will not receive it until after you have been raped by a serial rapist who goes on to kill future victims.

UT and CO are the only states I know that really allow college campus carry by the good guys.
Now, if you hold a valid CCW permit, the penalty for getting caught armed on a college campus in NV is not nearly as severe as if you did not have the permit. I know many students and teachers at UNLV that are armed. The campus is a safer place for it.

In nevada you may only carry with permission from the school leader. That holds true for any school public private any age student. Also you may not so much as have your firearm on school property. Not on your car locked in a safe. No place.

NRS
University, School, or Child Care facility
Per NRS 202.265 one may not have a firearm anywhere on the property of a University, School, or Child Care facility. Also, per NRS 393.410 loitering near school grounds with a dangerous weapon carries a greater penalty than loitering near school grounds without a weapon.

Curious. NRS that defines this? I did not know that.
Correct. Which is why you won't see me there.
Actually, OC is allowed, but only by the group of people that have more wrongful or accidental shootings than any other, cops.
The relevant NRS sections

Expect the Campus Carry legislation to make a comeback in the next legislative session.
Since you are new here, hurry up and get registered to vote! State offices are important, and are often won by just a few votes.

Violation of 202.265 is a gross misdemeanor.

As the Nevada State Director for Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, You can bet your bottom dollar that Campus carry will make a come back in the '13 session. We now know what the opposition argument is and will counter it before they even get a word in edgewise. Also worth noting, SB231 was not "defeated" in the last session, it was cock-blocked by an assemblyman who chaired the committee that heard it. Had we known his close ties to UNLV as an adjunct professor prior, things might have been different.
these are the places in Southern Nevada you cannot carry (without permission) that are part of the NSHE, there may be others. UNLV, CSN (all campuses), NSC, Thomas & Mack, Desert Research Institute, Attomic Testing Museum, Sam Boyd Stadium and within the administrative offices of the NSHE.
Another thing to note, Private colleges that are not part of the NSHE are not off limits. ITT, Ai, Le Cordon Bleu, etc. are all perfectly okay to carry (legally speaking). Though I'm sure they will expel and trespass you if they discover it.

Private colleges and universities are not "schools" according to NRS. I am of the opinion that the restriction from possessing on the property of the NSHE does not prohibit possession at a private university or college (other than the prohibition of concealed carry at vocational or technical schools).
Since the term "school" is not defined within the statute prohibiting firearms, we have to reference the definition(s) given elsewhere in NRS. If the legislature had intended to prohibit possession on the grounds of a private university, then they could have plainly stated that instead of using the explicit language used which only applies to property of the NSHE. If a college or university was a school, then there would also be no need in the statute for the language regarding NSHE.
This definition is referenced in other locations of NRS as well.

I believed that for a bit but what about these lines from the NRS?
1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a person shall not carry or possess while on the property of the Nevada System of Higher Education, a private or public school or child care facility, or while in a vehicle of a private or public school or child care facility:
3. This section does not prohibit the possession of a weapon listed in subsection 1 on the property of:
(a) A private or public school or child care facility by a:

Schools are defined as Elementary, and secondary (high school). A private college is not a "school." A college is a post secondary institution and if it's private, it's not a part of the NSHE and firearms are not prohibited by law.
