"Well officer I don't consider that to be illegal from my point of view."
Seriously though your "opinion" and what you "consider" it to be has no bearing in law. If there is a law against it then it is illegal, period. Regardless of what you think it should be. It's not legal to steal cable in one residence just because you own it in a different residence.

Yes.

No. How else is the signal supposed to get to your computer?

Yes. Here take a look: http://www.amazon.com/Ceton-InfiniTV-PCIe-4-channel-CableCARD/dp/B003B4VLJQ
The cetons are by far the most popular and for good reason.
Your cable provider might still require a technician to install it. You need to check with them before buying it. I'm pretty sure that nick doesn't have a "tv everywhere" online streaming service so if you can't get this working you're probably screwed. Just a heads up. And keep in mind with this option your still getting cable from the coax network on a different provider. Not sure if your college is ok with that even without a technician coming in.
