 The SSH protocol allows for port forwarding, which allows network
 traffic to be routed over it. Connect via SSH to one of the machines
 in your university, configure SSH port forwarding, and with a little
 work all web traffic will go over the ssh tunnel to your university
 and appear to come from your university instead of your home.

 It's a little deep to try and explain off the top of my head, there
 are a lot of tutorials on the web that'll explain it better than I
 can.
