Site relation are more used to put the tag "amenity=university" and all the
information only 1 time for the whole university when it is spread across a
city or multiple sites. This site relation equal to the amenity=university
area under a campus that's all grouped into one place. Otherwise, if you
query the data, you'll see many amenity=university (which means multiple
universities) that are exactly the same which is wrong. But i don't see how
it solve the subdivision either.

I also map the building name or ref as what the university use in general,
and put node "POI" for school or institute if they are officially located
there in one place (or if you could argue that their main office is there).
