First, you need a Wireless Internet Card.

 

I reccomend the Linksys Wireless G PCI-Adaptor with Speedbooster.

 

You can also get the one without speedbooster, I just found that the one with speedbooster tends to have better reception, but in a college campus, you migt not need it.

 

Then you need to install it (duh) which is really easy, you just open your PC and pop it in, it comes with a CD with all needed drivers, Then windows should show you availible wireless networks, you can either connect right then, and if you cant, Ask someone there for the encryption key/any passwords needed, they will tell you how and where to enter everything (i would try and explain it to you, but there are so many different ways of doing a wireless network, What i told you could be completley different from what you need to do depending on what kind of security they have.)
