This study focuses on the humanistic character of outdoor public seats on campus, the current situation of outdoor public seats be analysed in four typical universities, problems in outdoor public seats design on campus was discovered, and the solution was proposed. The main contents include: (1) Using the contrast method for the analysis of the current situation of outdoor public seats on campuses. A horizontal comparison from a geographical perspective (southern China and northern China) and a vertical comparison from a historical perspective (The history of four universities is 21, 67, 70 and 1045 years). (2) Summarising the humanistic factors affecting the character of outdoor public seats on campuses, analyse the precise reasons that underlie it. (3) Providing design suggestions for improving the humanistic character of outdoor public seats on campuses. The results of the study were as follows: (1) The outdoor public seats on campuses have four features that are phasic construction, regional distribution, cultural explicitness, and pioneering design. (2) The most important humanistic factors affecting the characters of outdoor public seats on campus are the history, philosophy, and layout of the university.
