4. Is there any place on or near campus where I could get an Internet connection that does not add into my 15GB/month ‘limit’?



Any of the computer labs. I’ve posted this somewhere else. on North there’s a lab at Appel Commons (5), RPCC(15), Dickson Lab (40). The last one is the best if you’re into lan parties or WoW. the internet and speed and graphic capabilities are more than sufficient (these computers are supposed to be used for “work”).

Other computer labs you might frequent include Mann Library (loads of computers) on the Ag quad (I think it’s the Ag quad) and the Engineering quad has two very well equipped labs (Carpenter Library although we’ve been told it’s being “restructured”. There’s another one in the basement of Upson, don’t remember what that’s called.). The Eng quad also has several other computer labs but not really frequented by passers looking for internet. These labs people actually do lots of work in so sometimes it’s not the best idea to pursue leisure here.

I believe if you connect to the WIFI service (available throughout most of campus) using your laptop, it DOES count towards your 15, in case you’re thinking of bringing your laptop with you. You’re tracked because you have to register your laptop to get connected.

In any case, bring your own head/earphones (or the computers are silent).
