Nearly 50% of College Students Would Give Up Beer Before Wi-Fi

A study conducted by Wakefield Research for the Wi-Fi Alliance (go figure) indicates that college students now feel that wi-fi is nearly indispensible for their coursework. The most unbelievable finding of the survey was that nearly 1/2 of respondents said they would give up beer before giving up wi-fi. Oh, come on!

Some of the findings from the study:

* 90% of U.S. college students in the United States say Wi-Fi access is as essential to education as classrooms and computers.

* Nearly 60% say they wouldn’t go to a college that doesn’t have free Wi-Fi

* 79% said that without Wi-Fi access, college would be a lot harder.
