From my experience with university's WiFi (and
cabled network) infrastructures
they tend to be very, very restrictive in what they

or have insane ways to get onto them that are tricky to get working with
Linux.
It may well be that in your tests ports were just blocked or bandwidth
limited.
So it's really worth checking out what e.g. netjack needs in terms of
bandwidth and ports and all, and then check with your university IT department
if that's possible on their network.
