I'm fairly sure that most WiFi compatible peripherals require a router to connect to. My Canon wireless printer needs one but I'm not familiar with the Nikon. Is it possible to connect a wirelss router to your college network?

Yes but don't most of those only allow you to connect to a network.. not allow a device to connect to them?

You will need to get a wireless signal somewhere, whether its from a router hooked up to the campus network or a usb dongle hooked up to a pc hooked up to the campus network.
