my friend noticed that our university's web address just changed from (www) to (wwwm), and he seemed bothered about why it was the case. anyway, does any1 nkow the difference?

It shouldn't mean anything significant, other than that, perhaps, the school has shifted to a different (perhaps a backup) server for the time being. According to the Wikipedia article on the World Wide Web, the use of the "www" prefix at the beginning of a url is a matter of preference, although "www" itself is typically associated with the http server located at a specific domain.
I'd check to make sure that the IP for wwwm.school.edu still goes to an IP address that's registered to your school, but other than that, I wouldn't worry about it - might also call up the school's IT department to see what's up.
www and wwwm
