I attended UofMich and we don't refer to campus or a chilling place as a "yard". We do have an area where peeps go and chill called the Diag (short for Diagonal). It's actually the center of campus and there's lots of lawn areas and benches for peeps to hang out or whatever. It wasn't until I became Greek that I started using the term yard. Most of the minority Greeks on campus call it a yard. But everyone else just says campus or they go hang on the Diag.
