> I had off-campus lunch privileges, so was sent to Borders to pick up copies of the green album on release day.

What kind of college doesn't allow students to leave for lunch? Lord.

Probably a US high school, where off-campus lunch is usually reserved for older students.

Others covered it. This was high school, not college. :) it was upperclassmen only and your parents or bad grades could get the privilege revoked.

School grounds are also commonly called campuses in the US, not just colleges. Our high school called it “off-campus lunch”.
