When I was a student at Auburn, we had one of these. It was right in the middle of campus, along the most heavily trafficked path through central campus. There was a sign designating it a "first amendment area." But I think it only applied to people not associated with the University. Student organizations weren't required to use this space, and could set up nearly anywhere outdoors, collect signatures, recruit, and generally do whatever they like as long as they weren't disturbing classes. Really, the only people who used it were the crazy itinerant preachers who would come through campus a couple times a semester preaching hellfire and brimstone. It always made for good fireworks when the new freshman would get into yelling matches with them. This was 10+ years ago, though, and that area now has a building right in the middle of it, so I wonder what the current policy is.
