As flip4flop mentioned, mining with your laptop is not going to provide for much revenue.
If you have a laptop with hardware that's capable of producing a remotely decent hashrate, and it's one you don't mind running into the ground as you peg it 24/7, then you may as well sell the laptop and put together a real rig, or buy coins to speculate with.
However, since you're in school, you probably need the laptop and don't want to run it into the ground.
Large-scale mining with free electricity at a university is a bad idea. However, you could probably get away with a normal desktop with 2-3 graphics cards inside (you could remove the side panel, but once you have risers going all over the place, it'd be harder to claim that your desktop is serving a "legitimate" purpose, in the eyes of your university).
