Everyone here has a laptop it seems. And, unlike students at NDSU, they actually sit outside and use them, all the time (climate makes a difference, I suppose). When I walk between classes at 11:30 on Tuesday and Thursday, I probably pass about 100 different computers. In 5 minutes. I've even seen 2 other Tablet PCs (never did at NDSU), including one guy using one in my math class. And it seems that they really planned for people to be able to use their laptops everywhere. The whole campus, even outside, is covered in a wireless signal, and there are poles with power and network cable jacks near the picnic tables that are all over campus. They're actually quite similar in appearance to the block heater plug-in poles we have in North Dakota.
On the other hand, the Internet connection here is real great. It slows down a lot in the evenings (when everyone is using it) to almost dial-up speeds. But at other times of day it is pretty zippy.
