If they scanned your computer they'd find no open ports, because the
tunnel is an outbound connection. The actual open port would be on your
home machine, but connections mae to it would go (through the tunnel) to
your campus machine.
I know this may sound peculiar but it does work. I have a Rivendell system
hiding behind a firewall in North Carolina that appears to have no open
ports, but the machine is accessible through a port on my computer here in
Massachusetts.

Almost.
The port would be open on the campus computer, but ONLY for
incoming requests made via the SSH tunnel from the other end.
Nothing else ( even itself ) would be able to find it.
