<p>Supposedly there is no wireless connection in the dorms and you have to bring in your own cable to connect your laptop to the internet. Is there a place to purchase this cable because I misplaced mine.</p>
<p>anywhere...Best Buy, Radio Shack, probably even CVS. It's just an ethernet cable.</p>
<p>The BU Bookstore, University Computers ... </p>
<p>You may be able to pick up a wireless signal in some dorms, in some rooms.</p>
<p>I don't know how much the cord is anywhere else, but it's $10 at Wal-Mart.</p>
<p>Actually . . . if you look at where the jacks are in your room and then at your desk, you'll know how long a cable you'll need. The jacks might be next to your desk or they might be on the other side of the room.</p>
<p>yeah, it's better to see where they are first. if you're in warren or west (in a double), the jack will probably be less than 5 feet away. other dorms, it varies</p>
<p>I got one at Fry's for $8.99. It's a 14 foot one.</p>
