Can anyone please tell me what type of internet is provided on campus? I know the campus is wireless but does it require a VPN software login or is it just secure password protected? The reason is I am bringing my ipod and wanted to see if I could browse the internet with that and also my cell phone uses wifi to connect with skype, thus while at school or at home I would be connected to wifi and thus able to receive calls from the US in case of any emergency.

Since my area of expertise is not IT, I had to go to our gurus to find out the answer to your question. Our WiFi system uses a secure password, not VPN software.

I have a Blackberry and it works well on the school' system. Several students and faculty use Skype and it works well, also.

thank you so much, you always seem to make the effort to find the answer! Things just keep on getting better.
