The ethernet port at the switch may be capped at a certain speed, to aleviate p2p or just general bandwidth bottlenecks. The ethernet port might be set to auto-negotiate and your network card will automatically operate at that level. I don't see colleges giving students internet access to the port at 100mb because frankly, there are more important things they have such a fast connection for.
