First thought is that you really need a new banner. It doesn't flow well with the theme.
The theme is very nice, and the tabs look very professional. The drop down log in is very nicely integrated and makes the forum seem professional and easy to navigate around.
Although you have quite a lot of sections for a reasonably small forum, they all seem to be getting filled up quite nicely so I have no complaints about that.
The poll at the top takes up quite a lot of room. I would perhaps look into turning it into a drop down. Although you want people to vote, you don't want to seem like you're forcing them into voting.
I'm a big fan of your announcements space. It's professional, and easy on the eyes.
I personally wouldn't recommend using a Portal until you have more members, as they often look very cluttered and can put people off from registering. Although seeing as your forum is made for your college, perhaps that won't be such a problem.
It seems to me like you've got the forum under control and it looks like it has a lot of potential. So good job.
Oh, and one more thing, you have 3 Admins. Is it really necessary to have that many? Your forum is still very small so I would have a good think about that.
