For Corpus, I'd play up the the fact that the university is on an island
Is it? Google Maps puts it on the coast, true. It might technically be one of those "islands" that has a creek or something separating it from the mainland, particularly at high tide. But it's near major highways, only a couple of miles from an Interstate, and directly across the bay, maybe 2000 feet away from a Naval Air Station. It's not exactly an isolated Miskatonic U. The PCs will be dealing with problems because they're PCs, and because in an urban fantasy typically mundanes don't understand and can't help, not because they're distant from aid or fortified on defensible terrain.
