<p>are they wireless or do i need to buy an ethernet cable</p>
<p>all the info I read said the dorms are wireless. re-read the housing stuff that said what to and what not to bring.</p>
<p>from Colgate's web page on residential life....
Today's students get to enjoy wireless computer access, study spaces, rec lounges, and other amenities available in all of the living spaces.</p>
<p>HI-
I just dropped my daughter off yesterday- the common area in her dorm is supposedly wireless, but she needed a cable for her room...</p>
<p>Yeah, last year I set my daughter up with the cable in her dorm room too.</p>
<p>Oh you need to get in touch with SOURCe to get some help with wireless in the dorms... your computer needs to get set-up to pick up wireless anywhere on campus.</p>
<p>My daughter's laptop was configured by the Colgate bookstore...</p>
<p>My son had no trouble connecting to the wireless in his dorm. His roommate the same.</p>
<p>Ours had no troublr connecting- she's in a suite and all four of them just plugged in and it worked</p>
<p>I'm in East Hall and I'm using the wireless now! It's a little spotty at times so I think I'm going to pick up a ethernet cable...</p>
<p>for now, stick with the cable. Even I'm on Broad Street and the wireless' just plain unreliable. It exists though...</p>
