I'm going to Utah Valley State College. The wireless internet is a mystery to everyone. Yesterday they had a little booth saying "Wireless access on campus! $49.99 setup fee, $25 a month!" What kind of student could afford that? Plus eating, housing, tuition. It amazes me. Hahaha.

You'll definitely need something addictive. Like a Tetris clone. Or Xcode.

Every Student needs to get a copy of BOTH NeoOffice (http://www.neooffice.org/) and OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org/) and don't forget TextWrangler (http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/) - the best text editor available. For graphics and image manipulation, don't forget GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/) - requires X11. GoogleEarth is also a very useful program.

Hey Trip,

Why not take an entry level radio course? I took radio practicum 1 my freshman year and did on-air shifts 3 hours a week. I had a blast and got extra college credits that way. :-) Granted it was supposed to be part of my major (communications) but TV production and the other comm. classes had to wait until second half of Sophmore year. What school are you attending where you have to pay for internet access? Sounds strange to me.

BTW: Anyone need a Jazz jock or camera operator?

How cheep is that?!! You pay and EXTRAORDINARY tuition fees these days (compared to the early 1990's when I was going to school) and they are charging you access fees? They don't give you an ethernet port in your dorm rooms?
