Are there options in my area for students to get free wi-fi?
Answer
Check out the Wifi Map on the Learning Commons homepage for free wifi hotspots that can be accessed in your vehicle http://libguides.northshorecollege.edu/gatorlibrary
Or check with these providers that we heard about. Please keep in mind that we do not endorse these companies and the free capability may expire at some point.
