Your car would be towed and you would most likely be taken in for a psychological evaluation.

The police gave them a direct order telling them to take down down the tents, they refused. They were told to leave the area, they refused. They were told they were going to be arrested, and they refused.
They refused arrested by not standing up and putting their hands behind their backs. Instead the children linked arms and sat there. They resisted arrest, and the police moved in on them.

There is a huge difference between a dorm room and a public space on a college campus. There is a lot more legal protection for your home than there is in a public space.
However, with that said, if the police catch you doing something illegal in your dorm room or your house they can arrest you there too.

No, not really. The police didn't know who these children where. They refused to be arrested; They refused to turn over any school ID or any other form of ID. The police couldn't ID them to report them. So they got arrested.
