<p>AT&T barely works on campus....i've only found right outside the upper and in the common room of center (girl's dorm)</p>
<p>and instructional skiing is rec skiing-you bascially go to the mountain 3 times out of 5 days a week and ski for 2 hours....on wednesdays its mandatory and you have lessons. you have to pay extra for it, but a lot of my friends liked it.</p>
<p>Also, can parents contact their child on the dorm phone? Or only the cell phone...and if it's only the cellphone, do you go off campus to talk to your parents if you have T-mobile?</p>
<p>emdee: If you have time, do the revisit(s) anyway. Congrats on reaching a decision. It's not easy.</p>
<p>mpicz - anyone can call you on the phone in your room</p>
<p>yeah emdee i would revisit sps just to meet people and get a feel for campus-it also helps when you have a person who you revisited with that you know in the future</p>
<p>if it's not like a big hassle or anything otherwise its fine, i didn't revisit because i was wait-listed but people do talk about it occasionally</p>
<p>You got in off the waitlist last year sailor chica?</p>
<p>emdee, I live in NH and most everyone around here (at least in the southern area of the state) uses Verizon. There is some trouble with it on route 202, in the Hillsborough-Henniker area, but that is west of SPS. I have been on the SPS campus several times for sporting events and have never had trouble with Verizon. At my son's bs (and at my daughter's college), it is rare for students to have a land-line phone in their room. Most kids just have a cell.</p>
<p>Every room at SPS comes with plugs for the phone and internet. Just bring a plug in phone (not wireless). You automatically have voice mail. But just hold off on all of this. If you are going, SPS will send you a packet this summer with lists of everything you might want to bring.</p>
<p>keylyme: some areas on campus are dead zones and others have very weak service. But cells are really only used off campus anyway.</p>
<p>Okay I'm going to try to clear this up.</p>
<p>When SPS states that you cannot have cell phones on campus all this means is you are not allowed to carry them around talking to people as you walk. Basically they cannot leave your dorm. I think this is great. </p>
<p>Every student brings some sort of phone, this year you are allowed a wireless phone although previously you were not. This phone is basically a house phone. This phone allows other students to call you without having to know your cell phone number. From a campus phone this is a four digit number. To access the four digit number all you have to do is go on to the schools "facebook" which you can access once you are enrolled. Your parents can also call you on this phone using a traditional ten digit number. It is generally 603-230-XXXX. The last four digits being your four digit phone number.</p>
<p>So what I do to avoid using a calling card, is call my parents on a cell phone using verizon, and then have them call me back on my room phone. Although verizon does have service on campus it can be shaky at times and often cuts out. This eliminates the need for a calling card and instills a much better connection.</p>
<p>T-mobile does not work on campus! Only verizon and in some parts AT&T</p>
<p>I hope this clears everything up. Let me know if you have more questions</p>
<p>nice
can we txt in our dorms? cuz i never call, lol</p>
<p>if you hav classes 6 days a week, w/ some half day schedules; what do you do on Sunday?</p>
<p>Of course you can text in your dorms. What's the school going to do DC you?</p>
<p>on sunday, don't we like just do hw, hang out, eat food, and stuff?</p>
<p>i guess
i wouldnt know...
holdon! hw on Sun!
i expected that... but howmuch hw...?</p>
<p>no, like, we hav class on saturday...but its a half day, and we have sports games....so i think maybe we wouldn't be able to finish it all on saturday, and sunday would be like spend an hour on hw and then like watch a movie or shoot some hoops in the gym or something like that</p>
<p>an hour? ummmm</p>
<p>Ive never NOT had service. Can you text without having service or w.e. Or is it just calling. And if it's just calling why can't you just have your parents text you or you text them, to get one of you to call on the dorm phone?</p>
<p>You can usually text with like 1 bar, or even with nothing... Takes a little more time to send it...</p>
<p>You may need to add a Roaming plan, so you can use other cell phone networks.</p>
<p>What if I don't have 1 bar? So if I want to talk to a girl or something in my dorm at night I can't text? I'd have to call with a dorm phone?</p>
