In my time at WVU(yes there was a time many many moons ago when I actually gave a shit about my education), I never saw a single campus preacher.

Damn, I missed out on a lot of fun going to a Christian college
...unless you count all the really, really conservative Christians in all my classes (says the girl who was routinely bitched out or put down in class for not wanting kids, believing that gays are people too, that the Genesis creation story is not to be taken literally, etc by my fellow students.)

I thank the Lord and the Lady I go to an apolitical, irreligious campus. We don't get this kind of shit.

I saw a preacher the first week here at university. They were at the free speech corner thing on campus in the quad. I was disappointed though, after being prepped by stories like these, this preacher was tame. When I passed by he was just talking about forgiveness and salvation.
There's also a bunch of religious organizations near my dorm, but they have good music when they do bloc parties and they pretty much keep to community work.
On a more off-topic note: I went to a catholic church for an anthropology project and found the priest sounds exactly like David Sedaris. Well, almost exactly and no snark either. :/

I, too, never encountered anything like this when I was in college. Oh, wait. It was a Jesuit college. (Fortunately, I found the indoctrination ineffective.)

We don't have any college campuses in my town anymore. However, the WBC were in my town about a year ago protesting a funeral. I didn't even know about it until they were gone.
