Ask your college if they have a "non-secure guest access" that identifies you by your MAC address.
I am currently using my school's network for internet access and email downloading. My university requires you to use an odyssey client which is software they make you install on your computer. Obviously, we cannot install such software. I did find where they give guest lecturers access but it is only for one week at a time and has to be requested by a staff member. In my case, I was able to get semester by semester access with them recognizing my computer via my MAC. When I set up the configuration I had to type in their SSID because the access I was using was not broadcast. They will not want you to use unsecured access but you can explain to them that viruses cannot run on the machine that you are requesting this access for. Hope that helps. It did take me over a year to track down the appropriate people and finely get access though.
