<p>Current Students,</p>

<p>I am a ProFro and I was wondering how good the wireless network at Stanford is. I was thinking about getting an iPad for college (I usually lose papers) and I don't really want to get the 3G iPad if I don't have to. Does most of the campus have wifi coverage?</p>

<p>Also, do you think it is worth waiting until Admitted Students Weekend to pick one up at the Stanford store (ie is there a discount?) See you at AW.</p>

<p>Go Cardinal!</p>

<p>wifi is basically everywhere. Not too sure about the discount… you would have to check if the store would even have the iPad in stock.</p>

<p>i dont think they carry the iPad</p>

<p>since it just came out, they dont have a discount plan yet but you can surely check later in the year.</p>

<p>There is wireless pretty much everywhere. There are some classrooms underground where you wont get 3g/edge stuff (ie your phone won’t work) but there is wifi pretty much everywhere (minus a few random holes).</p>

<p>The bookstore does have iPads.</p>

<p>The campus has very good wifi coverage, and they’re constantly expanding coverage based on student surveys. Basically what BigMike said.</p>

<p>This is… amazing… but I have to agree. As someone who hates the frivolous, all of the lingo irritates me. I’ll get used to it.</p>

<p>^^ I thought I would hate it too, but once I learned them all I started to like them. I think they are funny and add spice. Secondly, they are not useless, it is just that their usefulness is marginal.</p>
