That's protected by port security. Just limit them to one mac address per port. So only the last machine transmitting will get the reply. Works quite well, shut me down for a few days a few years ago when it was first turned on.
Most common or garden wireless APs / broadband routers will let you clone the mac address, so this is not exactly difficult to get around
And what is wrong with setting up a hub or something in a dormroom? I find it quite convenient to leave both my PC and a laptop running on my desk, for various reasons (too many open terminals and windows is one of them ...)
