Life in the Public Dorms

<p>Do you have to buy like cable/internet, etc?</p>

<p>no..........</p>

<p>Really? I heard from someone that you had to pay for broadband/T-3 type connections.</p>

<p>wait i have no idea what i'm talking about. looks like you do have to, now i'm angry i thought internet came with the room usually</p>

<p>I think they do give you like 56k, but who wants that? =P. That or walking to the nearest internet capable computer center.</p>

<p>Can we use their wireless network to get on the internet?</p>

<p>It's looking like I'll eat one meal a day with their "generous" meal plan and have no internet access :p I'll also have to wash my clothes by hand.</p>

<p>Man washing clothes too? I wonder how much that costs.</p>

<p>Would these plans be individual or would roomates share the cost per month?</p>

<p>What? A cap to your bandwidth?? Why can't they have something like Verizon or SBC where you pay like $30 a month and not have to worry about any of that. Some schools even give you like T3 for free. =/</p>
