Same general trend for me, though it's about a half mile to my building. The school gym is ~1000ft from my door. It's insanely convenient to live so close to the university, but then again I travel back and forth so frequently that it's a bit of a necessity.

Several of Tt's classmates in the MBA program commute 30+ miles to school daily. It's 4 days/week, 9-5. They run into problems getting to classes when weather is bad and roads aren't cleared. Many of them choose to rent a little apartment by the university so they don't have to drive as far daily - they'll stay close to the school during the week and travel home on weekends. It only really seems to work because several of them share an apartment and rent is cheap.
