What kind of things do they allow? Can you use at least ssh? If yes I am
sure a few of us can offer you to tunnel. In the worst case there is
also tunnelling via DNS which I would assume at least one of us would be
able to offer if it becomes necessary.
And if your college offers computer-science courses you might try pointing
out that blocking things like svn, ssh or git blocks some heavily
education-related stuff, not to mention that filtering only works
against the lazy people anyway...
