Trinity's Wireless Network
Trinity's wireless network is definitely a plus. It gives students easier access for research, class notes, e-mail and other such things. The ability to utilize small spaces of time throughout the day is definitely a help too. For example, my schedule on Tuesday's makes for a very long day, but if I plan ahead and bring my laptop I can study newly posted lecture slides or e-mail a question to my professor about an upcoming paper in between classes. I also love doing homework outside, which is a really nice benefit of a wireless network. It lets me make the most of this really nice weather. Of course, there are a few downfalls to a wireless network like facebook and surfing the net. But whether wireless or not, temptation and distrations will always be there. Here's a link to an article about wireless worries for campuses. In my opinion, oh well, I'd rather be fighting the urge to facebook outside than in.

I also like to study outside. It's a nice break from the classroom and dorm.
I also love to study outside! In fact, the magic stones are my favorite place to prop up and get out my laptop. The article you posted was interesting; I liked how they correlated wireless access to student life organization.
Studying outside is a nice break from your room and library. I also get easily distracted by facebook and e-mails...its kind of hard to fight that urge to take a break from a paper or notes.
Good point! Facebook is a constant distraction no matter what
