Cannot SSH to my remote server from University network

I set up a small Ubuntu server at home for heavy calculations. I can SSH remotely to it from my other apartment without any problem. But when I am at the University, I cannot: after a while, it just says Connection TimeOut. I am using the Eduroam network, if this can be of help. What causes the problem? Is it possible to solve it?

Your University could have network restrictions or a proxy blocking port 22. Use a VPN or similar to remedy this.

    Maybe but it depends on your Uni. Try to look into their policies to find out.

Eduroam mostly blocks most of the ports, and I think port 22 (SSH) is one of them. Using a VPN could work if the used ports here are not blocked either (which I assume they are). You could set up the port to 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS) for example. These ports are not blocked, but notice that you have to disable the webserver at your server for this purpose.
