English term or phrase: Four Campus Locations
This is in an ad to for an American university - They want to say that they have four different locations the students can choose from to study in. Is there a plural form for the word "campus" in Spanish? Would "cuatro campus (campuses) en locales diferentes" be correct? Any suggestions?
