I suspect that your question isn't clear enough, but my attempt at an
answer:

Use ange-ftp, or TRAMP, to edit the files on the University computer
inside Emacs.

Use 'rcompile' to run your compilation on the remote machine.


That way you have your Emacs environment, but you work entirely on the
machine where the compiler and tools exist.
