I've lived in housing for 3 separate Universities in the states. At all of them, Linux machines were allowed to connect to the network without any fuss, and presumably Macs too. Windows machines were required to install university-provided anti-virus. There was one little problem where the detection software they were using was checking for SMB support, and I got blocked because my Linux box had something running like that, but I called support and they worked it out.
