When you first connect to the wifi you get to sign in with your username and password given by the university for each student.
I don't think that counts. Another way of asking the questions is: Do applications like dropbox or steam open/work normally? (in other words, can such applications that need internet work without the need of 3rd party applications such as proxifier)
Nope. I haven't tried Dropbox on this computer, but Steam doesn't work (it says there's no connection), and also trying to connect to the website with a browser yields the following:

I've had a chat with a member in PM, tried Proxifier to no avail.

Then a VPN should solve the problem (hotspot shield might not be the best solution), and you'll be able to do anything. (It's the best solution however you'll have to pay 40-60$ a year)
I too tried VPN and it did not work.
a month later
about a year ago i used an ipv6 tunneling tool to bypass all restriction... http://www.gogo6.com/freenet6
many do not block ipv6 traffic so it worked for me but it was a year ago.. give it a shot.
here is my solution for you: Get a cheap linux VPS Hosting, change SSH port from 22 to 443, since 443 should not be blocked, download squid3 proxy, then use bitvise ssh client to make a tunnel with VPS machine. if it's hard for you i can help. Regards.
, then use bitvise ssh client to make a tunnel with VPS machine
If you're on Linux or OS X, you can use the built-in SSH client to create a tunnel: 
ssh -ND 3000 user@yourserver -p 443
Any connections made on localhost:3000 will be forwarded over SSH to your VPS. Replace 443 by the port on which the SSH daemon is listening. The default port is 22.
I used ultrasurf when I was at LAU for browsing whatever I want. Some students where using somethign called "yourfreedome" to play world of warcraft. though I never understood how that worked.

UltraSurf is unstable and a little slow.
I tried tor proxy.
Works well.
Beware that Tor is considerably slower than other solutions.
Guys I was in the LAU dorm few days I tried few tricks to bypass there filtering system with no luck i will keep trying until i find a way and i will post it hopefully .

Samer, VPN is blocked too
@Prince, try the SSH tunnel method. Make sure the SSHd on your VPS is listening on a port that is not blocked (80 or 443). It would be interesting to see if they are doing traffic analysis or just blocking connections to certain ports.
I'm in the LAU dorms. I use "your-freedom". You can get a free 256kbit account to use as a VPN. I also use put.io and it works as my seedbox. If you want I can inbox you my name and we can meet up.

TIP : https and hence port 443 are open
