University net connections are notoriously tricky to run servers on. For one, its mostly a breech of the terms and conditions and they also do a lot of port blocking / traffic shaping.
They will most probably block incoming ports such as steam ones. If you have properly setup your router and still people can't connect - then port blocking by the Uni will likely be the cause.

You can force ports, but im not sure it would help.
