It gets old fast. I worked in a campus most of my career. At first it's great that everything is there, but after a while I found I was going out for lunch more often just to leave said campus and since campuses tend to be more isolated, everywhere you go you need to drive.
The amenities of the campus rarely changes - so even if you're lucky enough to have a food court style cafeteria instead of a catered service such as Aramark, it will still be the same small handful of restaurants indefinitely as they don't have the same competitive landscape normal restaurants have. If you're stuck with a catered service, be prepared for meatloaf every Tuesday as they usually cycle their entrees on a preset period (weekly, biweekly, etc).
Downtown, you're an elevator ride away from people in your office and within a couple of blocks of dozens of dining options, which change frequently. The biggest problem for most seems to be the commute.
