Maybe it's because the unixpod public key is in your known_hosts in your
local workstation but not in your college computer from which you are trying
to access unixpod. I have a hunch that if you don't give the user name, ssh
automagically substitutes the remote user id as the one with which you
currently logged in. Can anyone confirm this?

So going by that logic, you are trying to login from "student" user account
in your college. Subsequently ssh tries to login as
$ ssh student@xxxxxxxxxxx

which i am sure doesn't exist
