        Add "login.college.com" to the DNS resolver or forwarder so it point to the IP of your captive portal.
        See here : https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=63791.0 - read the DNS forwarder point.

        Edit : tel visitors to http - not https.
        Normally, you do not need to supply a login URL. Any http://what-ever-here.tld (like http://www.google.com ) will show the captive login  portal page without any user action needed.
        By nature, laws and other unbreakable rules : "https" will NOT show the portal page …. and people will be unable to login.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??
