No wifi. Sorry.

Internet jacks? I don't think so. Everyone just uses the computer labs to surf the net. You don't really want the option of internet at your study table in the library, or else you fail to actually study.
At least that's what i tell myself.
Yup.. Google and Google Images are your friends!
I'm pretty sure there are places within the study desks upstairs so you can plug in your laptop (with your own ethernet/power cords). There is wi-fi in one of the labs, but it's not really practically useful.
I'm pretty sure that the individual study desks have ethernet jacks. There's also random jacks here and there in random spots, like at the back of the pre-clinic lab.
That said, it is getting annoying that wifi has not been made available yet. Last year Dr. Castells said that many of the lecturing faculty did not want students to be sitting in class surfing the net, and that is part of the reason we still don't have it. 😡 There's usually one of two moments in each lecture I wish we had wifi to double check somthing, or look up further information.
they do
The library does have ethernet jack at all the desk along the walls of the library in both levels, but wifi is not available.
I have actually been fighting for wifi for for 4 years. The powers-that-be seem to think that it is not needed of think it is a "security risk". They also probably think we use the dewey decimal system. I am going to send the string of comments to the powers at the school to show them one more time before I graduate that the students, and future students, want and need a wireless network.

It has something to do with security of the network since our clinic is in-house - patient data could be compromised. That being said, you'd think a solution would exist that could keep the clinic data completely separate from the wifi students/staff/faculty would be able to access?!...
That excuse is a load of crap. I know of many hospitals that offer wifi to patients. My father is an OD and I installed wifi there that meets all HIPPA requirements. They could put a wifi system in for a few hundred dollars. It would not cover the entire school, but it would cover the library.
UHCO has wifi that basically just covers the library. It doesn't reach as far as the lecture halls. (I believe for the same reason... lecturers didn't want students surfing during lecture)

One more reason I'm delighted I chose Pacific... WIFI EVERYWHERE!!!
If I want to surf the Internet during class... I do. And it will be my grade that suffers in the end. We're all adults here... sheesh!
