The precise answer is probably yes, they will be two different nodes and will probably have somewhat different demand and therefore different cache profiles.  But, it is my understanding that they will be more or less equivalent and have more or less access to the same content, so functionally they should be equivalent.

FYI, the traffic profile you receive may change a little as the University's node is a bit over loaded right now especially during daytime hours.  So, you may receive mor traffic once the MICE node comes online.
