Skype Bandwidth Question

[Fonkey123]

Hi guys, I didn't know where to post this so I'm assuming this is the most logical place.

I go to penn state university where we have bandwidth restrictions (2.0 gigs downloadable and 2.0 gigs uploadable) per week, and had a question.

Recently I was contacted by someone as per a coaching deal, and he suggested we use skype. I was just wondering if using skype counted against my alloted bandwidth for either uploads or downloads (I'm not even sure which it would count towards), and if so would it just totally burn through my bandwidth?

Thanks guys.
