[spoiler]Hello, DeeJ. As someone on university internet, I think I can help address this issue for some, as well as a workaround.
Many universities have set up their internet to prevent things like video game consoles from being able to access them. The reason for this being is that consoles take up a lot of internet when there are hundreds on the same signals. It throttles the internet and costs the universities a lot of money. However, since you've already paid a few thousand dollars one way or the other, I'll tell you how to get around it.
The firewall is what's keeping you out, so you need a device to deal with it. Your best bet is a computer that is connected to the wifi that is provided for you. Note: Macs seem to have difficulty with doing this. Now, follow these steps:
1. Go to "Network and Sharing Center" on your computer and then to "Adapter Settings";
2. Find your wifi and right click on it. Go to properties and make sure sharing is allowed;
3. Use and ethernet cord. Plug one end into your computer and the other into your console;
4. Start up your console. You may need to test the connection to get it to work;
5. From there you should be set. Depending on the computer, you may be able to put it to sleep, but it needs to be on.
Note: Do not create a network bridge. Doing so would still make your console have to deal with the firewall. Also, this may not work depending on your internet.
Source for the above: I'm on the Xbox One. I haven't been able to try it with Destiny yet since it's still in the mail, but all this should work.

Edit: So, apparently this doesn't work for Destiny. I'm sorry to hear that since that means that I probably won't be able to play either.

This is what ALL of us get to look forward to when "net neutrality" ends. Gamers will be blocked or put on the slow lane.

Dude, lrn2internet. If you connect your xbox to the schools wifi that blocks p2p connection and destiny doesn't work, than how do you expect to get it to work by tethering to a computer that is using the same internet that blocks p2p connections? All of that was rhetoric, by the way. Stop spouting crap.
-
Calm down. It's worked for me on every game.
-
Because it didn't have a p2p connection...
-
Thanks for being so polite about it. I'm sure there wasn't a better way of handling the situation.
-
No problem. Have a nice day!!!
-
Wow...that was low.
-
No luck in this

They are already aware of this issue, besides before mine got fixed today I tried sharing my internet, and then a message pops up saying this: Your Internet connection cannot be shared because it is protected by 802.1X. Choose a different network to share or disable Internet Sharing.
-
its the first thing I tried and it did not work at my university, but that does not mean you should not try

I have been successful with doing this with GTA V when it released in September at a college with no game support. I am at Bloomsburg University and no longer needed to do this as my set-up. However, after trying to do this again I can confirm (for me at least) that it does not work for Destiny. I have my ps4 perfectly online with an ethernet cord going from my laptop to ps4 and I am still getting the centipede error.

I tried this completely. The connection worked perfectly and everything, but i still got the same "Coconut" error. Which is right after you finish the first cutscene. I really wish there was a way.
-
tried this...it did not work laptop wise
-
Where is the "adapter settings" at?
-
Are you using Windows? The easiest way to get to it is to right click on your internet connection/wifi icon and go to Network and Sharing. From there, it should be on the left of the screen.

I figured it out thanks! But that still didn't work. I just keep getting the error code chicken. Hopefully bungie can have something figured out by next week because my school already said they wouldn't open any ports.
