I'm a student at the university. The apartments are owned and managed by a third party, but they are still on UTD owned land, and UTD can (and does) enforce disciplinary policy in the apartments, just like on the rest of campus.
I'm a student at the University of Texas at Dallas. The reason many students choose to pay for their own broadband is that the wireless is just plain not very good in many of the apartment buildings. In my apartment my freshman year, for example, I was rarely able to get a signal in my bedroom. Ditto for my roomates. After fighting with IR for a month about it, we final just got DSL.
Comparing to what i've seen of C++ and it's AP Exam, I _think_ the ease came mostly from the ease of Java itself, and the APPENDICES!
I took the AB test in C++ in 2002. I did no reviewing for it whatsoever, fell asleep during the multiple choice for about half an hour, and got a 5. With the apstring class to take care of string manipulation (think StringBuffer minus a few features), the test was more or less 6 hours of college credit for $40.
Considering my school (The University of Texas at Dallas) has complete covereage in every building (including the 63 on campus apartment buildings), and several of the schools ranked only have wireless in a few of their buildings, I seriouly wonder how much research actually went in to their chart.
As far as the usefullness, I've found I can concentrate much better in several of the lounges and study corners across campus than in my apartment, and having wireless Internet access allows me to do research on the Internet in those locations, which is a great convenience.
I used to be just where you were with Dr Pepper. If I didn't have it, I got horrible headaches that would instantly disapear as soon as I had a can. I just gradually cut back, slowly replacing the Dr Pepper with Sprite and caffiene free Dr Pepper. After several months, I was down to one caffinated Dr Pepper a day, at which point I decided to quit entirely. The first couple days weren't easy, but because I had gradually cut back, it wasn't too bad. I haven't had a caffinated beverage in three months, and any effects the caffiene had on me are finally gone.
