Are you using wired or wireless university connection? When i was in college, wireless was locked down tight but they were much looser with wireless.
If you are using wired, most likely they are blocking P2P traffic inwhich case you are most likely out of luck. I think Frogboy mentioned something about proxy servers. That might alleviate this issue?
Utimately you need to be able to let traffic on certains ports get to your computer, if they cant get there, no demigod (unless someone can tell me otherwise)
