Not if the college has the ports closed. (And that is the standard way to block those - and all - chat programs). They do that for several reasons:
1) bandwidth - one person chatting is the same as about 15-20 regular users on a network
2) opens their system to viruses and hackers
3) should you harrass someone in a chat using the school's computer the school could be held criminally liable or sued
4) should you share child porn, etc., or try to pick up a minor over chat using the school's computers, the school could be held criminally liable or sued
(Need I go on)
So please respect their rights to protect themselves and you from viruses. law suites, etc. and do not attempt to hack around their system. Plus, you could be dismissed from school or even face civil or criminal charges for do it. (I have seen it happen more than once - so just a warning)

Windows Live Messenger can now communicate with Yahoo Messenger.

get all your friends to switch to google. gmail has a live messaging system that only requires the website and works really well.
