Me, I get off one exit earlier and cut through the outskirts of the campus then go down the ramp.
Honestly, I wasn't aware this is illegal. I do this occasionally, but not for this purpose. I usually do it when I find myself stuck in an exit-only lane but don't want to exit.

When I've tried it for speed purposes, it's always backfired.
