With modern network architecture, it’s fairly easy and I would argue a preferred design to use “eduroam” as the SSID for everything, while on the back end segmenting your students/faculty/staff to access levels and experience identical to whatever “MyCollege” SSID you had before.
No impact to them functionally; easy to implement; reduces SSIDs for you; helps users recognize and trust eduroam when they travel; and their devices roam automatically in the future.

I see many benefits of eduroam, but I would like to understand the intent of eduroam, so that our constituents have a more consistent experience as they utilize eduroam. We have guests on our campus, but we have no way of easily finding a guest and having a conversion with them if necessary. With eduroam, I can contact the host institution and they can decide if they are going to allow their user to continuing the use of eduroam. If we truly need to speak with the user, they can facilitate our interaction with the user. Perhaps, I am in the minority.

Best to treat/deploy it is as a slightly better version of the WiFi you can get at Starbucks or McDonalds.
