If you can make outbound SSH connections from your campus, you can make a 
connection to your home machine that sets up a reverse SSH tunnel. For 
instance, you can make port 22 on your campus machine show up as port 1100 
on your home machine; then when your home machine wants to connect to the 
campus one it makes a connection to localhost port 1100.

I've been using this technioque for several months now, and while there 
are pitfalls -- for instance, the need to reestablish the connection if 
something breaks it -- I find it answers quite well.

If you can't make outbound SSH connections on port 22, set your home 
machine to accept SSH connections on port 443. That port is unlikely to be 
blocked because it's the standard port for https.
