It would have to be a very small school.  At this late date, I can't imagine
too many schools don't already have their Internet connectivity
well-covered.  Most have some kind of IS program, so they have a ready body
of students to do 90% of the system and user support at slave wages.  And
they tend to do a damned good job.  Many an ISP in a college town has those
same system admins on their payroll.  Probably the best you could do is to
offer connectivity, but don't be surprised if a college of a couple hundred
students uses ten times the bandwidth of an ISP with a thousand dialup
customers.
