“All of the residence halls have Wi-Fi within the public areas," Ashley Chaney said in an email. Chaney is the Assistant Director of Communications of Residence Education and Housing Services.

Chaney said Wilson was the first residence hall to become completely wireless — additional dorms with Wi-Fi on student-living areas are Butterfield, Landon, Case, Wilson, Akers, Holmes, Snyder, Phillips and Rather.

“The process is costly and will take time,” Chaney said in an email. “We understand the importance of access to our students, and have made this project an ongoing priority.”

However, a set deadline for the project does not exist.

“I would rate MSU’s Wi-Fi a six out of 10,” marketing sophomore Mekhi Stribling said. “I feel like the Wi-Fi isn’t as steady as it could be.”

Stribling said his biggest issue with Wi-Fi is the constant interruption of the connection.

For Stribling, having Wi-Fi in student-living areas did not change anything for him because he prefers to study in the library.

“Having (internet) wireless (in) residence halls would be cost-effective for students,” Stribling said. “They wouldn’t have to worry about going out and purchasing an Internet router.”

Hospitality business sophomore Lamont Davis rated the quality of the residence hall Wi-Fi as a nine out of 10.

Davis, who now lives in Butterfield, said he experienced some troubles when walking around his former dorm, Bryan Hall.

“I would walk around Bryan Hall with my laptop and in certain areas (and) I would be disconnected immediately,” Davis said. “In Butterfield, the Wi-Fi connection is stronger.”

Davis also mentioned the importance of full-on wireless residence halls especially when Wi-Fi might be “the only thing students can rely on due to poor cellphone signal.”
