yes, I am also well familiar with universities spread over many different
buildings (or sometimes just a floor of a building although I have not yet
seen an apartment used (for what? Office? lecture room? Probably not as a
lecture hall, would not be suitable)).

Common way to map this (unfortunately) is amenity=university on all parts,
e.g.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/25074981

Here's an example of a (not yet complete and in some parts overcomplete)
multipolygon for the Universität Tübingen:

(curiously, there are also node members ;-) ).

yes, but if we keep the small places like the apartment as nodes, it will
not be possible to see that they are small, because a node can be any kind
of size.
