I certainly did not have skywalks either. We also did not have a "wellness center." "Wellness" for us was running to our classes to make it in time.

My wife's campus was riddled with tunnels and she hated never being outside. There's something to the old fresh air & sunshine thing.

Skyways/skywalks ain't cheap. A good working number is $10k per lineal foot. But they're priceless in a -60F wind chill.
I can see why a skyway would be nice if you are in a dorm so you don't have to layer up just to get breakfast. I was too cheap to pay for a parking permit so I parked next to the soccer fields south of T lot and one time my eyelashes froze together walking into a strong north wind. The back seat in my little Renault could be taken out by removing two clips so I put my bike back there when it was warm so I didn't have to walk as much.
It's OK to not be OK.
I agree that the idea of skywalks is attractive when considering the handfull of days when there's 8" of snow and it's below O and blowing like hell. That said, part of education includes 'toughening up' in preparation for the real world. In the real world you will be expected to overcome the elements so you may as well get acclimated to it in college.
