Graham, I think you'll have the best experience if you configure your WiFi devices to only use one of the campus SSIDs, and delete or disable the other profiles. The WiFi controllers can interpret rapid jumping between different SSIDs as a malfunction, and can cause the client to be briefly excluded from the network, which looks like an authentication failure.
