Well now that I'm back on bluelight after a months break I feel that I should definitely add my opinion to this matter
While I lived on campus (for 4 years) I didn't really come out to anyone there... I lived at an all male college, and it was the first time that I had lived in an all male environment.
As it stands, I'm a very open person, and all my friends now, and all the people that matter to me know about my sexuality, but the thing is, you don't have to come out to anyone that you don't feel comfortable to, and as has been stated previously, coming out definitely isn't a one time thing, its unfortunately a life time thing... you always have to make the decision to tell or not to every new group of people that you meet... personally at this stage of my life I don't care what others think, although while at uni I did for my college mates, especially as we had open showers...
But hey, you can make it as much of an issue as you want, you can tell people if you feel comfortable, you can not tell people if you feel that would be better for YOU. The thing is, you have to live there, and you want the experience to be as comfortable as it can be, and there are always going to be people who you don't want to tell due to their immaturity or homophobia etc. so basically, you need to be comfortable living where you are. If people don't know, then they can live in oblivious delerium. You should ALWAYS get to choose when you come out to whoever, and it is your comfort that is the priority.
Honesty is always a good thing, but the ability to be honest about your sexuality with everyone is an ability that grows over time as you become more comfortable with yourself. Coming out is an annoying continual process that you will have to take, but you should take it at your own pace.
As I always say, I am a PERSON, not a homosexual. I am not someone's concept of who I sleep with, I am ME, I will never be anyone else but me, and I am happy being ME

Other people who are uncomfortable with ME being ME have a problem, I don't.
Be comfortable being yourself. Don't feel the need to divulge your potential sexuality on others if you aren't comfortable with yourself.
Your feelings in this matter are the most important. You need to be comfortable, otherwise the whole enterprise is doomed to failure/hatred/annoying useless people...
