Cyberspace

One thing that Trinity is exceptionally proud of is the wireless internet access on campus.  Because we have wireless internet set up in my house, I didn't really think much of it-- it is easy how quickly you can grow accustomed to having certain luxuries.  

I didn't really notice how great it is that I have such great wireless access until I went and tried to get onto the internet in Nathan and Mike's dorm down the hall from mine.  I had heard from them that my roommate and I had great wireless, but I didn't think it would be any different over there.  I had absolutely no connection in their room.  It really made me think about how lucky I am that I have a great internet connection not only in my dorm, but all over campus (except, apparently, at Nathan and Mike's . . .).  

It is really cool that Trinity provides this service to students, because not only does it mean that we can pretty much get on facebook while we are eating lunch or sitting by the magic stones, but we can also do research at three in the morning for that writing workshop paper due the next day without getting out of bed and bothering our roommates.

While Trinity is on the cutting edge for wireless connections, here is an article about other schools who are getting WLAN from cisco, the same company that made the Clean Access program that annoys so many of us here in San Antonio . . .
