How are they able to support thousands of users at one time? I do a speed test and they aren’t like fiber optics level of speeds so how can they have so many users at one time? Is it because there are so many routers placed around the area? But even when I’m on campus I don’t see any wireless routers outside.

So a campus is likely to have its own campus network normally builds will be connected in a ring or mesh design and their would likely be a two data Center or data room facility each would have its own connection to the internet. If a uni then the I think they are likely connect into the Janet network.
A campus like an airport would be similar but would likely have the isp and wifi provided by someone like Boingo who would cater for the 100,000 transient passengers per day. This traffic is all kept totally separate from the campus network.
A large airport may have say 10,000 security cameras, and lots of critical feeds for coms, lighting, door access, baggage and atc. Virtual lans keep the traffic separated and segmentation helps with further security.
This level of security contrasts with the uni where collaboration is a key driver.
