Probably a small bow tie style outdoor. Fairly small in size and Omni directional

Late to the party here, wanted to remind OP that WAFB and WBRZ's actual channels are high-band VHF (9 and 13, respectively).

UHF-only antennas tend to have a problem picking up WAFB on campus. If you can fit it, pick an antenna that has at least one "long" element, such as THIS or THIS.

I had that problem last year. So how do I mount this beast? Do I need a pole?

Both look like they are designed to be screwed into wood, such as on a roof fascia. You can always copy my friends' idea for their Dish antenna and stick a 6-7' pipe in an old bucket half-filled with Quikrete. I would wait until you get the antenna to properly size the pole. Unlike a satellite dish, aiming precision on a TV antenna is not nearly as demanding.
