Hi Eike, I experienced similar problems when I tried to collect traces on campus. For some reason it seems to be really difficult to get a decent fix there even when one is standing in the middle of Chancellor's Court with a very clear view of the sky.
You could try to begin your trace before you enter the campus so that your gps device has a chance to get a decent fix. I also sometimes have the impression that accuracy differs depending on the time of day with the afternoons being particularly bad at Birmingham University (I do not know if there is any sane explanation for this it is just an impression I got).
