First question you should ask yourself is: Is it my computer?
I’m no trying to be glib here, I’m just trying to point out some perspective and that if it doesn’t belong to you then you can only use it with permission and only how they want you to use it. You can certainly ask. But I wouldn’t want you to get in trouble if you did install games on the sly.
Always be respectful of other people’s and organizations property and always Ask before you Do. 
For all you know they probably have computers specifically set up for that. College can surprise you when you have a lot of like-minded people on the same campus.

So, in short, no.
Students really need their own computers these days. Consider getting a laptop.
