Without any context or examples of how you want to use the terms, there's not much difference.

Thanks.
University Student Life is a Topic in our textbook.
Do you mean that both University Student Life and Campus Life are acceptable in English?

Yes. Although campus life is probably more common in the USA.

They mean two particular things. Do some work - you might start with Google. A campus is a collection of buildings in a small area separate from the town with which they're associated.

In some parts of the world, there may be little difference. In a university that has no campus there is. Try going to Cambridge and asking 'Where is the University?'

Thanks. But it seems that there is grammar mistake in the sentence "In a university that has no campus there is."

I don´t see a mistake. "In a university that has no campus there is (a difference.")

You have to understand "a difference" as the complement carried forward from the previous line.
