<p>oh take an extra blanket cuz it gets cold during the night and you can't control the temp of the room... they give you one but it's fairly thin. i don't know if you'll need it but i'm glad i took an extra.</p>

82

<p>if my computer doesn't support wireless network (I know...something's wrong with it), then if i bring a cable will I be able to go online?</p>

83

<p>Short answer is yes! There are ethernet ports around.</p>

84

<p>yes. that's what i did -- i brought both my laptop and ethernet cable. there's an ethernet outlet inside the room (specifically behind your desk :rolleyes: ) that will allow you internet access from your laptop in your dorm room.</p>

85

<p>yah, just don't spend 5 minutes trying to plug your ethernet cord into the phone jack.</p>

<p>not that i did that, or anything... :rolleyes:</p>

86

<p>Make sure it's a long cable. My room only had 1 port for ethernet and it was behind my roommates desk, so I had to borrow his desk since the cable was so short.</p>

87

<p>You can always go to the lounges and use the ports there...</p>

88

<p>Is connecting to UCLA's internet network as easy as plugging it in? I'm soooo not computer literate. :o</p>

89

<p>Yes! It is. You go to a page and sign in with your information.</p>

90

<p>What page?</p>

91

<p>it'll pop up.</p>

92

<p>wait they don't need to do the resnet system check or w.e.? I still have that program running lol</p>

93

<p>Well from the dorms I didn't have to login to anything (or even with the wifi in the lounges). But once I went out on campus using the wifi I did.</p>

94

<p>i just plugged in the cable and opened up firefox :)
(dorms)</p>

95

<p>Cool. So at worst I would need to enter my BOL account info?</p>

96

<p>Short answer is yes. </p>

<p>SaltyBruin12, honestly, you are worrying way too much. Everything will be fine.</p>

97

<p>BOL account info? to what, access the internet?</p>

<p>just plug in the cable and use it!</p>

98

<p>Mme-lin: not worrying, just bored. I fart out questions when I have nothing else to do. :)</p>

99

<p>i can't wait until orientation. one more week :)</p>
