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...

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

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...
