I'm having a similar issue on my work wireless. I can connect at home but not at work. The issue is because Cisco wireless use a different encryption of security than windows 8. There are two solutions. Either:

1. Change your drivers back to windows 7 like mentioned above.
2. Have your school update their wireless to the latest Cisco drivers.

Here is a link to the blog post

This is a known issue with Windows 8 and Cisco Wireless equipment running on many college networks. You can read a brief on the problem here:

Here's an excerpt that may help:

Problem: Microsoft Windows 8, to be released on October 26th, is among the first clients to support IEEE 802.11w natively in the OS. Clients running 802.11w fail to connect to Cisco's MFP capable APs because of interoperability issues in the service capability negotiation. It is /not/ possible to address this by simply disabling MFP on the Cisco Infrastructure, and Microsoft confirm that Windows 8 does not provide any way (e.g., RegKey, Group Policy) to turn off 802.11w as it is considered a positive feature to always have turned on for security purposes. The Cisco bug ID tracking this is CSCua29504.

Solution: The only two solutions are: 1. Update the Controller code to a fixed version. 2. Downgrade to a pre-Windows 8 wireless NIC driver on the client device - where that option is available - as 802.11w is NIC driver and/or supplicant dependant.

Looking at the two solutions, as far as I've heard the fix for the controller is not available yet, or may require an expensive upgrade (of the tens of thousands of dollars variety) for your college, if they're still on a very old version of Cisco's management software. My network doesn't use Cisco, so I can't confirm whether the fix is available and for what software.

Option 2 looks a lot better for you. This says that if you find the Windows 7 version of your network card driver, it should be able to connect okay.

This is a common problem with window 8. After the upgrade to window 8 from any other window or sometimes window 8 itself download & install the update available..

As a result window 8 WiFi driver may corrupt. This can also result in stop working of WiFi. Sometimes it also notice that WiFi button also stop working..In this case we recommend that you will re-install the WiFi Driver again.

If you buy the laptop/computer with pre loaded copy of window 8, you can locate the WiFi Drivers in 'Window Drive'. Most of the time it is Drive C:

Alternatively go to the below link to download the driver.

Please select the county from the top left of the page.

Now select the product Home Users, Small Business and Enterprise IT to download & install the WiFi driver.

For more information & help you can see the below article.

Download and install the correct driver from the dell website (Link so you don't have to go looking: here.)

It is possible the driver didn't install properly as part of the upgrade (speculation on my part..), and what you download from their site is probably going to be newer than was pre-installed on the laptop regardless.

Edited to summarise link posted by @developer:

Download this driver.

Run the installer, it will fail with an error but have let you extract the driver(s) to a folder on your computer. Take note of where this extracted to.

Open device manager, press Win + X then M

Find your wireless adapter, right click it, choose Update Driver Software..

Click, Browse my computer for driver software.

Point it to where you extracted the drviers above and finish the wizard.

.. Restart for good luck (it may even ask for a reboot, I'm not 100%.)
