Editing video is one of those tasks that can be done quite well on multi-core CPUs, even if those individual cores aren't especially fast. So, whereas video editing takes advantage of multi-threading performance, Dolphin requires CPUs with good single-threaded performance.
Basically, video editing is a different workload than emulation, so even if your school's computers are good at processing video, that tells us nothing about how it would run Dolphin. Not trying to chew you out, just explaining how these things work.
Sorry about that. I currently have no access to the CPU info at home so I'm kind of in the dark. I'll have to check tomorrow.
