maybe I have been looking at datacenters too much lately but I think you could probably achieve the same thing and better scale + performance with something like VXLAN EVPN down to the switch instead of vlan per user. the end user would have interesting stuff like MAC mobility too so it would be suitable for the staff and servers as well as student network

edit: yeah that would be awesome, you could move a VM from a server to your laptop with minimal interruption

Student staff usually learn first network tricks on their first year and stay for 3 years. Complex solutions cannot be used because they don't have the experience and even if they get it quick enough, this would put a huge barrier to yearly new comers.
