Which damn universities are you talking about? I sure have no issue roaming on the campus of the local university, going to libraries and administration and visiting former professors without any security check. That would be hard in the first place given how vast and open is the campus. The only place some sort of check are mandatory (half of the time) is one of the student association asking to show the membership card when buying beers.

At some point after Charlie Hebdo there was annoying security checks in the parisians univs I was attending but that stopped within a year or so.

There is usually one vigil in stores, but certainly not "patrols". For the record, countries with no immigration issue like Japan or Czech Republic don't have this kind of security in stores. Univ cafeteria in Japan is also open to all, and there are occasionally some hobo going in.
