Borrow a laptop and plug it into your port - see if that's slow too, if it is, contact the admin.

If your college has a hierarchal IT structure you'd probably want to contact the Helpdesk instead. They should be able to help you out and pass it on to the admin if necessary.

Also, at what times is it slow? Peak times or off peak times?
