All academic buildings, the library, the dining hall, and Healy and Copley lawns are quoted as having wireless. Other areas have spottier coverage, but you can get a signal a lot of places inside and outside that supposedely aren’t covered.

With dorms it’s really hit or miss. Some have it, some don’t have it, some don’t have it but you can get a signal, and some do but you can’t really get a signal. It’s honestly not a big deal with the dorms, I think most of them are fibre to the desk which is going to be a lot faster than wireless anyway.

My only real gripe is that on campus apartments universally have no wireless, and university-owned townhouses don’t even have ethernet. And UIS is really insane about not setting up your own wireless network, even if it’s invisible and totally secure. They shut off my ethernet for a week because I had an illegal network last semester…
