I don't know anything about PPPOE in the network profiles, but you could use a 
network profile for the wifi at home, create two boot loader entries and use 
the NET= parameter at home and a custom parameter PPPOE at university. Then 
add the following to your rc.local

if [ ! -z "$(grep PPPOE /proc/cmdline)" ]; then 
	pppoe-start 
fi

You may need to give the full path to pppoe-start.
