Hi there grishmabeli6,
Welcome to the forums. I believe the problem your friends are having, may be because of their location.
Sometimes players living in Halls may have their connection pass through 2 or 3 routers which is called double or triple nat and this can cause connectivity problems when trying to run the game and connect to each other.
Usually people with double/triple nat can talk to their ISP and ask them to completely bypass another router in your set up, so that data only goes through one router improving connectivity and permissions, but I am not sure this would help in your case because Im assuming your internet connection is provided by your College?
In that case, please could you and your friends all try following this tips in this article to improve your connection -
