The answer

Humility and devotion (khushu') in prayer are very important, as they are the fruit and spirit of prayer. It is recommended to seek a place for congregational prayer with humility and tranquility, far from distractions. If this is not possible in the place of study, there is no objection to performing prayer in the university's prayer room in the described condition, as the majority of scholars believe that prayer is valid even without khushu'.
