Apparently Your University Address is being processed through Google
Apps or some corporate version.  Have You tried setting up using the
XMPP Protocol instead of the Google-Talk Protocol set-up screen.  It
won't force gmail into the Domain and You just need to specify the
Server as Talk.google.com and also be prepared to 'Accept' the
Certificate whenever 1st logging in.
