> I need to setup a VPN connection to the university's network. Now, there's a
you mean VPN client or client & server.

first case - ask what kind of VPN do they use, probably they will know 
about unix client

second case - use ports/net/vtun if you use unix only, ports/net/mpd - 
windoze compatible VPN - you use standard windoze VPN client ("VPN card").
