You can edit the file /etc/apt/apt.conf and add the following:

Acquire::http::proxy "http://proxy.address:port/";
Acquire::https::proxy "https://proxy.address:port/";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://proxy.address:port/";

Where the "proxy.address:port" part is replaced with the address and port
of your university's squid server.  This will cause apt to go through the
proxy when downloading packages.
