First, I'd check with the campus IT department, you're probably not the first with such a problem. If they don't have a ready made solution, if you have a fairly new PC, you can download a program designed to rebroadcast an internet connection using your WiFi card or built-in WiFi so it looks like a router rather than a peer to peer network and your Kobo should be able to pick that up -but, check with the IT dept. first, they may have policies against "re-broadcasting" or setting up your own private networks.

Or simply use the PC based Kobo software to download and transfer books. Or find a local coffee house, or fast food joint that has free WiFi.
