I go to Cardiff Uni in the UK, and I can tell you, US students have it so much better. The majority of UK uni's do the same as cardiff, which is effectivly block UDP traffic. They also block IRC. There are no games, no file sharing, no IRC, and internal traffic is monitored so you cant easily swap files inside the network.
There is always tunneling, but thats just a pain.
