If you can build LDAP queries to derive your list membership by college, 
class year, etc., you may want to look into using the LDAPMembership 
adapter.  The only issues are list members cannot remove themselves from 
the list or change any user options.  We use it to build four of our 
important "essential" communications lists for our community here 
(members are not allowed to remove themselves from the "essential" lists).
