Alternatives
Besides using a different port for SSH, you could also do one of the following:
Use the VT VPN. Most VT's users have VPN access if they have set it up. https://onecampus.vt.edu/task/all/installing-pulse-vpn
If the server is well established (more than just a lab server or desktop) you can reqeuest a port 22 exception from Virginia Tech. In order to do that contact techstaff@cs.vt.edu

with this:
Port 22 Port 2222
