Don, How recent is your experience?
Talk among students within the last year is that a lot of universities are upping the security and have gone the route of requiring students to install software in order to be able to use their network unless you are in a dorm. I'm not trying to be facetious, I genuinely want to know about your experiences because this could be brought up to universities as an example of what other universities have done that does not exclude blind people using adaptive technology. It wouldn't be an immediate fix but the next time they are upgrading things they might take it into consideration.

It's easy to connect to them using the braillenote. Just do a scan for network and probably accept all the default settings along with giving the configuration a unique name. Next, once you're connected, you have to open your browser and go to a page of your choosing. Your request will be intercepted by a page from the network which asks you to sign on to the network using your user name and password. These should be provided to you by the appropriate person at your college. In other words, you can connect to the network, but you cannot do anything with that connection until you log in properly. There may be other networks which operate in a different way, but I can only speak for those with which I have experience. Since connecting wirelessly is now such a popular connection type, I suspect most networks now operate pretty much in this way. So, get your username and password from the appropriate people at your college and give it a try.
