In fact, I even had to look it up to understand the basic meaning. The abbreviation for representative would fit more to 'Student', I think.

I am a campus rep for The University of Plymouth in South West England and everyone I know refers to being on the university site as being 'on campus'. I suppose the main factor is whether you are going to a campus based (i.e. majority of educational buildings and some amenities all in one location) or city based (educational buildings and amenities spread out over a city) university. It's not clear-cut though as some cross this boundary. Few modern Uk universities have multiple campuses and those that do almost almost always have one main campus - the others just being ex-colleges and the like. I get that it is potentially misleading when taken literally but I also think it sounds much cooler than any of the other possible names which is important if you want people to take on the role.

When we do, it's because a university has multiple campuses in different locations which are all part of the same institution. So in that case, being a "campus rep" is actively misleading - it suggests that you are responsible for only one part of the institution rather than the whole of it.
