It should work.

Be very careful though, universities (if this is in halls) are usually very strict in saying that you're are explicitly not allowed to do this. And I know at my uni they have pretty good ways of insta-banning your room's account automatically.

then just connect the university connection to the wan port of the router and register the router's mac address on the university's network - as far as they will then be able to see you have one machine connected and they don't need to know what's going on behind the router (and they won't, unless they do some lame packet inspection but even then they'd need to be specifically looking for the signs of nat)

Generally this is what they do. I was told that a masters student came up with some piece of software which inspects the header of a random packet from each room every now and then and checks if it's using IP Masquerading.
