14.04 - does not connect to Eduroam wifi

Works fine with home wifi, just not Eduroam network (a university network which is used internationally).

Tried all different certificates, with or with anonymous ID, about 15 different university guides but nothing works. When trying to connect to Eduroam wifi, it just tries to connect (you see the wifi logo pulsating) and then it prompts you again for the password you had already put in - this ends up being a vicious cycle.

No universities support 14.04 that I was able to speak to. No one seems to know and all the solutions I have found in ask ubuntu do not work for me.

I really dont want to resintall windows 8 on this, but need to work.

Im open to any solutions, even alternative wifi tethering if that even exists (that does NOT use phone data).

The computer is an ACER V5 132.
