Get your parents to cough up a few bucks per month for a dial up
connection and use your phone line (if you have one in your dorm room)
to connect to the net through a 56K modem (again, if you have one).
Sounds like the college is using some sort of firewall to block p2p
traffic within their network. Check the college's "acceptable use
policy."
