What kind of college doesn't allow students to leave for lunch? Lord.

Probably a US high school, where off-campus lunch is usually reserved for older students.
That's fine...never heard high school grounds referred to as a campus before so assumed college.
This is fairly common in warmer climes in the US like California. Rather than have a monolithic high school building with lots of wasted space for hallways they will have a bunch of smaller buildings that students go between outside. They are "campuses" in the same sense that various tech companies call their cluster of buildings a "campus".
I remember watching a TV show set in socal (Beverly Hills 90210 maybe?) in the late 80s I think? And them having high schools and even lockers outdoors just blew my mind.
Others covered it. This was high school, not college. :) it was upperclassmen only and your parents or bad grades could get the privilege revoked.
School grounds are also commonly called campuses in the US, not just colleges. Our high school called it “off-campus lunch”.
High school ... 20+ years ago probably
