    No its wired Ethernet. There is wifi on campus though.

    Also you wont get access to the internet until you enroll so you could spend the first few days of living in halls without internet. I had to wait 5days to get internet.

    See i was sadly dying without the internet in a first few days for a few reasons, i sweet talked the people in computer services somehow and they gave me my pip login details... obviously got the gift of gab.

    What campus were you looking at? I went to Harcourt Hill and was pretty impressed, facilities looked good especially the new halls! Generally I thought the city was nice, excellent transport links, you get a free bus pass in first year (I think you do every year actually) which means you can get everywhere easily
