you need to ask him how they supply the internet, thru a cable or via a wireless network.
if it is wireless, you don't need a router, as it would only complicate things. just set your Wireless security settings accordingly for each device and go!
if it is thru a cable, you need to find out what that cable is: ethernet, phone line, or CableTV cable.
for ethernet, any router will do, it doesn't need a modem.
for phoneline, just get an ADSL (it is backwards compatible with DSL in most cases).
for Cable wire, you need a Cable Modem/Router, which are usually the most expensive.
if it is none of these, then it is probably wireless, unless you need to buy the parts from uni themselves...
