In order to gain access to a Dropbox account you need to have access to the email address associated with it. By chance, was the Dropbox account linked to your university's Dropbox account? If so, they may be able to recover the account for you.
If not, and you're not able to sign in due to a forgotten or expired password, you'll need access to the email address associated with your Dropbox account. Contact your University's IT department and see if they can restore your email, even temporarily, so you can access the Dropbox account.

As you are logged in download everything immediately and simply set up a new account. If you dont download it you run the risk of being logged out and not being able to regain access.
