There are already several posts on this topic, but I wanted to have a more up to date answer. The secure wifi uses my personal school account to sign in so that might not be the best idea, however the guest wifi is open to everyone so that may be a better idea. I also know to use a VPN and bind my torrenting client to the VPN. Anything else I should know? Or is the entire idea dead in the water? I've pirated before but never with several thousand dollars on the line...

Who the fuck touches a public network without a vpn?

Well as long as you don't do anything illegal according to this guy there is nothing to worry about (obviously if you use uni certificates to use the network they can either way decrypt your traffic).
