Flavorwire's 50 Greatest Campus Novels Ever Written (Plus Extras)

This week sees the start of the 2019 academic year down here in Sydney, with my daughter commencing her undergraduate Psychology degree. I have compiled a challenge using Flavorwire and various other links (some listed below).
To quote The Guardian: "Natural theatres for intellectual ideas and human folly, universities have provided perfect stages for novelists from Kingsley Amis to Michael Chabon."
