I'm a total noob, but maybe a proxy? Be careful, though, cause if your user agreement from your university says to not use stuff like that (if its even possible), then you'll get kicked out. And getting kicked out of college would be IMO the worst thing that could happen. It affects the rest of your life, for a Lil John song
But yeah, I would try a proxy. Usually universities will block those, though. You could also try accessing it on a port that your school doesn't block (?) But I think the program or users you connect to would have to allow you to change the port, or else you'd be talking to a wall.
