I'd guess that they have some kind of Network Address Translation scheme going on, in addition to a packet shaper set up. One solution MAY be to - if your school has a VPN server - attempt to tunnel all of your traffic through the VPN. Most schools set up the packet shaper just on the dormitory portion of the network and let the staff/faculty traffic pass unfiltered.
The other only "real" option is - as was stated - find someone on a fast connection (or set up your own computer at a colocation center, etc.) and tunnel all of your traffic across an unfiltered port to that machine.
