Although for a university, largest could mean many things. I’ll answer this by the contiguous area of university. I’ve found two largest universities by that measure, after that it was too cumbersome task:
1. Sewanee: The University of the South:
The university campus consists of 13,000 acres (53 sq- km) of scenic mountain property atop the Cumberland Plateau, with the developed portion occupying about 1,000 acres (4.0 sq- km). As the land is not used by the university for any direct constructive purpose, it’s name often doesn’t come up as the largest university. Here is the wiki link for the university.
2. Pantnagar University:
The image you see, is not a random image. This is what it takes to capture this humongous university. The University is spread in an area of 10,016.29-acre (40.5345 sq-km) which makes it the second largest university in the world, in terms of contiguous area. Being an agricultural university, land seems to be an important requirement and this university makes fair justice to that. Here is the wiki link.
If anyone has a correction, please feel free to comment. Will update my knowledge and answer.

This largely depends on the definition of "largest campus".
Stanford University owns 8,183 acres (3,312 ha), which makes it the second largest university in the world in terms of contiguous area. Moscow State University is built vertically and has a larger total floor area but occupies a smaller piece of land. Berry College, near Rome, Georgia occupies 28,000 acres (11,000 ha) of contiguous land, and Paul Smith's College occupies 14,200 acres (5,700 ha) of land in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York, but neither is a university. Duke University occupies 8,709 acres (3,524 ha), but they are not contiguous, The United States Air Force Academy has a contiguous 18,000 acres (7,300 ha) at its disposal, but it is not a university. Dartmouth College, with a large land grant, owns more than 50,000 acres (20,000 ha), but only 269 acres (109 ha) of those are part of the campus.Sewanee: The University of the South occupies 13,000 acres (5,261 ha) in its "Domain"; however, most of this is unused forest.
