Unless, of course, he lives in the dorm. That's the impression I got, but maybe I imagined it.
Good point... I didn't think of that, problemchild. In that case, if you are in a dorm, I would do as Joey_Batch_File suggests, and use dial-up for such features. If dial-up is too slow for you (I know I can never go back... I hate when I'm on a trip and have to use my cell phone to connect my Pocket PC or notebook to the Internet to check e-mail, stocks or something else), you may want to consider investing in some sort of broadband (either DSL or Cable) for your dorm room...
