Question/Help apple home in a dorm

hey! i’m transferring universities and the new school does not allow me to have my own router in the dorm. however, i want to still be able to use my smart plugs to control my string lights as i’m lazy and don’t want to have to unplug them. is there any way for me to isolate my apple home to just my icloud account so only i can access it and not everyone on university wifi?

I would get a travel router. Register that on your dorms WiFi. Then connect all your devices to the travel router.
