are they wireless or do i need to buy an ethernet cable

fourkidsmom

all the info I read said the dorms are wireless. re-read the housing stuff that said what to and what not to bring.

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.

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...

Yeah, last year I set my daughter up with the cable in her dorm room too.

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.

My daughter's laptop was configured by the Colgate bookstore...

My son had no trouble connecting to the wireless in his dorm. His roommate the same.

fourkidsmom

Ours had no troublr connecting- she's in a suite and all four of them just plugged in and it worked

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...

for now, stick with the cable. Even I'm on Broad Street and the wireless' just plain unreliable. It exists though...
