Count=494
Percent=100%

CountPercent 
10.20% 
10.20%In classrooms
10.20%Outside the Sierra Center Manzanita Hall
10.20%A faster connection enhancement would be nice.
10.20%A few of the study room sin library are hard to access the wireless signal from. Also a few of the apartments right by the G3 Parking Lot are unable to receive access at times.
10.20%access should be available everywhere on campus.
10.20%access should be upgraded throughout the library and expanded to all eating sections on campus.
10.20%Access to the internet on campus should be faster. Most teachers use it to teach and it is difficult and annoying when the loading process takes up half of the class period. As long as students parked in any given campus parking lot can access the internet then it is fine.
10.20%aceess outside of buildings its not very good in the quad area
10.20%All areas
10.20%All around better coverage, especially in the dorms. I'm not in them this year, but I remember that the service was a joke last year
20.40%All around campus
10.20%all around campus. the network is always weak and often disconnects even while completing this survey.
10.20%All around our beautiful Campus.
10.20%All classrooms, all buildings, all inside & outside sitting spaces including near resturants and coffee spots.
10.20%All floors of the library building.
10.20%All floors of the library primarily. On the 3 and 4th and even the 2nd floor of the Oviatt library there is never any wireless signal to be picked up, at least not by PC's. Arbor grill and the cafeteria around the Matador bookstore could use better signal too. Ideally all around campus wireless would be great.
10.20%all northridge
10.20%All over campus it should be avaiable not limited period. Without limited labs for use it helps when a student can acess the web on their own computer devices.
10.20%All over campus!
10.20%all over campus, sometimes the signal is too low...
10.20%All over campus.
10.20%All over campus. The signal strength throughout the entire university has weakened significantly over the semesters, and speed often slows to a crawl even during the low-use hours. I've been all over campus, from Sierra Hall and the Sierra Center to the Library to the Games Room and the Pub to the Engineering building. I have had decreased strength and speeds, with every semester it getting worse than the last.
10.20%All over campus. The wireless access signals need to be stronger.
10.20%all through out the campus. with this new system, the access is so slow.
10.20%arbor grill and sierra center
10.20%Arbor Grill seating area
10.20%Around by the black house and better service in the dorms.
10.20%around eating areas, near parking lots
10.20%Around edges of campus so it will extend further
10.20%Around the dorm areas, because it's hard to get connections inside the dorms.
10.20%around the outskirts of campus.
10.20%art building...
10.20%Art department / Art buildings--wireless signal is barely accessible there!
10.20%Art department because many design students have laptops and require the internet to do most of their work.
10.20%Aside from Central regions (surrounding the library), it should be expanded where there is a greater proportion of students and not a great allowance of wireless access.
10.20% 
10.20%Associated students labs need to be expanded.
10.20%At every location on campus.
10.20%At the dorms and near by neighborhood
10.20%at the USU, at Sierra Market, etc.
10.20%At the village apartments and in sorrounding "hotspots" that students visit.
10.20%Basically everyhwere..in open areas, by Sierra Hall, Plaza Del Sol area.
10.20%Better connection in the library.
10.20%Bookstore and USU.
10.20%Bookstore area
10.20%Bookstore complex and Manzanita Hall area needs to be upgraded as well as the outer edges of the campus

10.20%by the Sierra Hall building and the Music department
10.20%Campus wide
10.20%Campus wide
10.20%campus-wide. There's no reason why students, faculty, and staff should have any issues with on-campus wireless access anywhere on the CSUN campus.
10.20%Citrus hall. Dr.Crowhurst's lab has no signal at all.
10.20%Classes and some open areas.
10.20%classrooms and eating locations
10.20%Classrooms in Juniper Hall and the lawns outside the oviatt library and bookstore.
10.20%classrooms such as in the ctva building. hard to get the network working in some of the rooms
10.20%classrooms, art building
10.20%classrooms, public areas
10.20%Classrooms. It is sometimes difficult to connect inside a classroom, at least in Juniper Hall.
10.20%Coffee shop(jerome ritchfield) and area west and south have very weak signals.Maybe the building is impeding wireless traffic?
10.20%college of Engineering & Computer Science, Library.
10.20%COMS department area. library.
10.20%connection is slow everywhere, so an overall upgrade, bussines and MZ buliding
10.20%Connection slows down on user intensive locations like library.
10.20%CSUN Dorms
10.20%csun dorms
10.20%CSUN is geographically small campus. Everywhere should be covered, but specifically I would like to increased signal within Santa Suzzana Hall.
10.20%CY Hall second floor
10.20%Cypress Hall
10.20%Definitely outside the Sierra center where the yellow umbrellas are (next to Jerome Richfield too)Plus the yellow umbrellas around the sierra Center (where they serve food), does not have properly working electric outlets to plug laptops in.
10.20%Dorming WIFI has been bad for me, as well as in some of my classes. Like inside my Astronomy class.
10.20%dorms
10.20%dorms
10.20%Dorms and Arbor Grill
10.20%Dorms and extensions of the campus such as the pan African Studies Black House. Also maybe access to CSUN students even if they are off campus by having us log in to access the wireless.
10.20%Dorms, Arbor Grill
10.20%Dorms, because if your computer isn't working then you have to go to the Student Union and there are wait lists because there aren't enough working computers.
10.40%dorms, classrooms, and outside areas...
10.20%dorms, library, sierra center
10.20%Education Building
10.20%Education building and eating areas.
10.20%education buildings & food courts
10.20%Engineering Building.
10.20%Engineering courtyard/Auditorium, but mainly, the new wireless network, when available, is very slow. This needs to be addressed.
10.20%Equal coverage all over the CSUN campus.
10.20%eucalypts hall 2nd floor
10.20%Every part of CSUN.
10.20%every where in campus!!!
10.20%every where is good
10.20%everywhere
10.20%everywhere
10.20%Everywhere around campus.
10.20%Everywhere around campus.
10.20%everywhere on campus, it seems as though there are always some types of struggles getting it
10.20%everywhere on campus. stronger signals in the library, and the marketplace
10.20%everywhere on campus. stronger signals in the library, and the marketplace
10.20%everywhere possible.
10.20%Everywhere possible.
10.20%Everywhere!
10.20%Everywhere! The wireless capabilities of the CSUN network are simply inadequate. Anywhere that one tries to connect, the connection is iffy at best. It's a real inconvenience when working online.
10.20%EVERYWHERE! WIRELESSS IS TOOOO SLOW!
10.20%Everywhere, especially Sierra Hall. I only have class there on the second floor, but the connection jumps from high to low way to often. Whenever a professor is doing a presentation using a laptop, they usually have problems loading whatever they want to show as well.
10.20%Everywhere, even in the parking lot.
10.20%Everywhere.
10.20%EVERYWHERE. Inside of every building and everywhere outside of the buildings
10.20%Everywhere. Some classrooms get horrible signals and even my professors have had trouble teaching when using visuals from online because sometimes they won't load or are really slow.
10.20%Everywhere. The wireless goes down too often and doesn't work everywhere.
10.20%everywhere. wireless needs to be campus wide, from grassy areas to parking lots and everything in between.
10.20%expand to the perimeters of the campus, and make signal stronger all over
10.20%Expanded past the area of the Dorms on zelzah and south of lassen so that student apartments across the street can access it as well
10.20%Expanded to the art and communications building, to the parking structures and to the quad.
10.20%faster access and more signal strength throughout campus. mainly in buildings or food locations. manzanita hall as well.
10.20%Faster in the dorms
10.20%first would be security. the only i used CSUN's wireless, i got virus!
10.20%food court next to sierra hall
10.20%Food places.
10.20%Fourth floor in the library, Outside areas(back) by Manzanita Hall, Arbor Grill, and Plaza del Sol.
10.20%Fourth floor of Oviatt library.
10.20%fourth floor of the library and sierra hall.
10.20%Front lawn of Bayramian hall in between Jerome Richfield.
10.20%Fully throughout the campus and in local restaurants or hangouts within a mile radius of campus.
10.20%generally that would be all around campus. mostly in areas far away from the major wireless connection, like around the music recital hall, manzanita, and so forth.
10.20%Health Science Building
10.20%I am not sure which area but I know that sometimes people complain and from above the only thing really concerning me is that one. I still believe this campus quality fee is USELESS and UNNECESSARY
10.20%I as a freshman live off campus on the corner of plummer and Zelzah. If it could be expanded a little further then the dorms, to where people live off site that would help!
10.20%I believe csun wireless should expand outside of campus.For example a few extra feet outside of campus for those who live down the street and decide to drive to school just to use the computers.Also the computer lab hours are horrible especially in the USU. I believe the hours should be longer and just jus on finals,midterms as well.It is weird that alot of students procastinate but hey we are all human.We still need the resource no matter what the time because we all have other issues and problems were going through.
10.20%I believe it should be upgraded in all buildings. I have noticed that in the Sierra Hall there is hardly ever any reception.
10.20%I believe that it should be upgraded in mainly the lecture hall's and areas where one AP is used for a cluster of 4-5 different classrooms. It seems like with the new login system every time I move across campus and turn my laptop back on it takes me 5-10 minutes to reconnect to the new AP, whereas before with the old systems it only took me a matter of seconds for the laptop to kick in and connect. Also, in places like lecture halls and such there seems to be a lot of dropped connections simply because of how overloaded each AP gets from so many users on one.
10.20%I believe that it should be upgraded or expanded at the USU.
10.20%i bring laptop so i say do a quick test to make sure all classes have access to the hotspot
10.20%I can not get access in the multi-level parking garage next to sierra hall. I do a lot of studing there.
10.20%I cannpt say I don not have a laptop, but this just seems to be a far more appropiate way to use funds than websites or campus maps.
10.20%I can't get a signal in the Arbor Grill near the business building as well as many locations inside the business building. It is also hard to get a wireless signal outside of Sierra Hall near the food area.
10.20%I don't always get wireless access around the USU. When I'm in the quad area, i go in and out of range.
10.20%i dont know the scope of the area, but since this is an option that means you have the capacity to expand the coverage
10.20%I don't like that you have to log into the server every time you use it and that your computer can't save your information for quick log in.
10.20%I don't particularly need it; I just think the otheroptions are stupid.
10.20%I don't use a laptop, but I don't think money should be spent on iCSUN, and there is already a campus map on the website. Between HELPDESK and expanding wireless, I think wireless is more important.
10.20%I don't use wireless access in school, but there were times when I went to the Matador Bookstore and the internet was down. It was terribly disappointing. Internet access overall should be improved, not just wireless.
10.20%I feel that the wireless access should be upgraded in the dorms.
10.20%I guess upgraded as in range of the existing wifi, the signal is there, it's just really weak.
10.20%I have a mobile device that can access the internet. I think such devices should be able to access CSUN webmail.
10.20%I have been experiencing trouble connecting to the wireless all over campus since the security page has been added. In the sierra cafeteria, in classrooms in sequoia, sierra hall, and manzanita hall. There has been inconsistency, one minute I can't access it and the next it is working just fine.
10.20%I have difficulty connecting in classrooms in Sierra Hall.
10.20%I have had the experience that if five people are on-line in the same place it is very slow, and frustrating.
10.20%I have never had a problem with Wireless access at CSUN. Thanks for the hard work.
10.20%I have not had a problem with access to wireless. I am an Art Major and I am able to log in around the art complex. I think that access should be available through out the campus, with most populated areas having priority (cafes, gathering places.
10.20%I have the most trouble getting online outside near the sierra center and by the grill!
10.20%i have trouble getting access to the internet through csun in Jacaranda Hall. I connect to csun successfully but then it takes a while to get access to the log-in page.
10.20%I just think the portal should be easier to open anywhere. Sometimes it will not open.
10.20%i know that on occasion the csun wireless access will not allow for connection for an entire day, so it should be upgraded to let students prepare if for some reason the system will be down.
10.20%I live in the dorms and often times have issues connecting to the internet. I'm not sure if this is the fault of too many people, or not enough signal.
10.20%I never really have trouble but it seems a lot more important to expand wireless for students than to make wallpaper for them.
10.20%I see a lot of people sitting in Freudian Sip and the pub etc (the drink/food places)trying to access the wireless, but often have problems to connect. Also, in Sequoia Hall can be a problem.
10.20%I thinik it should range, if it doesn't already, to all the parking lots as well outside of the dorm buildings.
10.20%I think that signal strenth should be improved everywhere because of the growing number of people using wireless on campus.
10.20%i think that upgrades should be done in the dorms so that it doesnt crash. when it goes down in the dorms, everyone is in the computer labs and it is hard to get work done and printed out, therefore i think that the computer labs should be expanded.
10.20%I think the fee should be used to allow FREE PRINTING AT COMPUTER LABS!!!!!!!!
10.20%I think the wireless access should be upgraded and fixed in the dorms. It really sucks when you have a paper due any the wireless has limited or no connectivity.
10.20%I think wireless access should be upgraded so it won't take as long to get information needed. I think access to computers is fair on campus but like you could put more places that are accessible.
10.20%I think wireless access should cover all the school area, so any student anywhere in the school building or near by may obtain wireless access.
10.20%I usually do work around JR building and sometimes the wireless internet is really slow or it takes a few minutes for it to load.
10.20%I would like it to be extended in classrooms because in some classrooms the signal is very weak and it makes it hard to access the internet in classrooms.
10.20%I would want the fastest connection speed available in more areas rather than wireless access in new areas, i receive access almost 100% of the time anyways when I'm on campus.
10.20%if I'm on campus, I should have access to wireless internet_ at all places on campus
10.20%In all areas of the cafeteria.
10.20%in and out of all classrooms and in the library
10.20% 
10.20%In areas like the bookstore, where currently, wireless access is difficult to optain.
10.20%In buildings, by the bookstore, all around the school perimeter.
10.20%in class rooms or outside
10.20%in classrooms
10.20%In common "hang out" areas such as the sierra center, and over by the student union, many people still find it difficult to get a wireless connection. These are all areas where students like to spend a lot of time with their laptops, and this is why they should take top priority in terms of efforts for improvement over anywhere else.
10.20%in every building
10.20%In Every campus building
10.20%In half of the buildings I go to, it is sometimes hard to pick up a signal. I have trouble in the Sierra Hall, Education Building, Redwood Hall, and around the larger grass areas around campus.
10.20%In most of the buildings
10.20%In Sierra Hall. It's hard to access the internet in every classrrom. Also, I'd like to see more outlets for students to be able to plug in their laptops...especially in the Sierra Center, Freudian Sip.
10.20%in the are on the second floor of seirra hall by room 290
10.20%In the business building
10.20%In the classrooms
10.20%In the classrooms
10.20%in the classrooms.. I use my laptop in the classroom and it is super slow and sometimes i can't even access the webct from it...
10.20%in the classrooms; it seems that access should be available more often where students tend to be.
10.20%in the dorm areas and in the dorm buildings themselves
10.20%In the library and near the bookstore. the signal strength is very low there, so the internet is very slow.
10.20%In the library in the in certain floors the connection is terrible for example the third 4th floor by the (big) windows.
10.20%In the library study group room, the wireless access is weak.
10.20%In the library....
10.20%in the middle levels of the library floors
10.20%in the nearby neighborhoods,
10.20%In the Parking garage. Improve access, it's becoming very hard to log on.
10.20%In the Quad, right by JR and Sierra Tower
10.20%In the Sol Center and the
10.20%in the twin tower buildings
10.20%in the university student union, and in the second floor of the sierra center.
10.20%including surrounding neighborhoods
10.20%increase signal strength to reach passed the parking lots in all directions since a lot of students tend to sit in their cars and study and do homework while waiting for their classes.
10.20%inside class rooms
10.20%Inside the classrooms. There are some places inside a classroom where wireless access is not available depending upon where a person is sitting. Another thing is that many students want to plug in their laptops, but there are only a few electrical outlets inside the classrooms.
10.20%It gets overloaded quite easily and seems quite sluggish during the day.
10.20%It is difficult to get wireless internet in the Sierra hall building.
10.20%It needs to be faster from inside buildings. Lat year I had little trouble, but this year, with the new login system, it takes me several minutes to get initial access.
10.20%It should be accessable all over campus
10.20%It should be available everywhere.
10.20%It should be exapnded across the whole campus, the reliability of wireless access is necessary for the improvement of academic excellence of CSUN students.
10.20%It should be expanded at least to cover a one mile radius.
10.20%it should be expanded in the classrooms.
10.20%It should be fixed in an internal level first. I sometimes experience problems accessing the wireless service inside the library. After the internal problems are resolved, it should be expanded to the dorms and nearby apartments.
10.20%it should be in every building of the campus but only to those that are a student a csun.
10.20%it should be upgraded and expanded for the apartment complexes near the campus such as meridian pointe where i live so i could save money and since im a freshamn money is my highest priority
10.20%It should be upgraded and expanded to the entire campus. I cannot access the internet in most parts of Manzanita Hall, specifically the 3rd floor and room 122. It is fair to all students that wireless internet be provided throughout the entire campus.
10.20%It should be upgraded and expanded to the parking lots.
10.20%It should be upgraded to avoid problems like the ones at the beginning of this semester (Fall 08) when a stable wireless connection was nearly impossible for some days.
10.20%it should work with in a 5mi radius around the campus including the parking structures
10.20%It shuld be upgraded in the bookstore area, as well as near the Freudian Sip in between Sierra Hall and Jerome Richfield hall
10.20%it will help the students
10.20%It would be nice to have WI-Fi in Parking lots as many people work in their cars while waiting for their classes to start. Also to improve reception in public student places such as the benches otside of the Bookstore complex as the wifi signal is very weak.
10.20%it's a little slow. Moreover, the connections dropped sometimes.
10.20%It's not the location that is the problem - it's the fact that the internet is too slow. We pay high sums, but get only wireless b connections which is pretty sad and slow. Wireless G should be a hackneyed connection by now. We need more bandwidth and less security measures that restrict initial connection.
10.20%I've been living in the University Village Apartment for two years now and there have been plenty of days where I have not had access to the CSUN wireless connections. We are suffering over here. We have families and cannot drag our kids to campus to use the computers there. We also don't have computer labs here either so we MUST HAVE WIRELESS CONNECTION IN THE UNIVERSITY VILLAGE APARTMENT. THANK YOU!

10.20%Library
10.20%Library 4th floor and Sierra Marketplace. Basically, anywhere on campus
10.20%Library and labs in local buildings
10.20%library computer labs
10.20%Library should be open 24/7 during finals time at the least. There should be a certainty that access is available when demand is the greatest. Internet shutting down for twenty minutes at a time during finals week is utterly unacceptable. The standards are different during that time.
10.20%Library upgrades should be done. The other weekend, the internet was down completely on the weekend. Students come to the library on the weekends to do homework and should be considered important to keep connection up at business hours.
10.20%library upper floors
10.20%Library wireless access in very patchy.
10.20%library
10.20%Library, Art dept., Cafe's
10.20%Library, Jerome Richfield, Education Building, Sierra Hall. The parking lots would be a stretch, but it would be nice to be able to sit in the car and work so you could have privacy and protection from the weather.
10.20%library, outside lawns
10.20%Library.
10.20%Library. There are window seats on a few floors with a weak connection.
10.20%Locations: library, dorm room, student ASU and all computer labs. Impliment a noise free atmosphere, too.
10.20%Lots of times that I try to use my lap top on campus it doesn't work and the computer labs should be open 24 hrs the last two months of the semester for papers and final projects.
10.20%Lunge areas by the bookstore.
10.20%Magonia hall
10.20%Make it more accessible in the school's parking lots since many students stay in their cars during their brakes.
10.20%Make sure access for computer all around campus so students can study by using computers in and out of classes on campus.
10.20%Make sure it accessible in all campus locations.
10.20%Make wireless available in the outdoor areas, such as the quad.
10.20%Many Students like to go to Starbucks to do their studying...It's pretty close to campus. Reseda and Plummer, that would be an excellent spot.

10.20%Monterey Hall - no dead spots in classrooms and floors
10.20%Monterey Hall (currently gets poor connection)
10.20%Monterey Hall needs improved wireless access along with extended access to the computer lab in this building. The lab is closed during large parts of the 9-5 school day which renders it useless.
10.20%more in the bookstore or outside of oviatt library lawn. or near NCOD where deaf students can have equal and strong access like those in the library
10.20%MORE OUTLETS IN CLASSROOMS/ SIERRA CENTER? LIBRARY!!!!!! This is a HUGE problem, as people are conflicting over the use of plugs. Additionally, the service in the library is horrible and often one cannot get online at all. There should be more places to print from as well, not just at the library, copy center and labs-or increase the capacity of the labs.
10.20%more signal strength overall. under the oviatt palm trees and in the quad

10.20%please upgrade the wifi access in the library. there is a lot of traffic there and the internet can get really slow during peak hours.
10.20%Pond area
10.20%Popular outdoor waiting/lounging areas (such as the grassy quads around the library and surrounding class buildings.) I also ranked wireless access as a one because none of the other options really sounded that valuable. Things that really need to be addressed, like a redesign of the portals system, a less confusing display of your payment history, having someone nearby on weekends to restart the routers when the dorms' net goes down, cleaning up the phone directory system, and other things that more directly affect living and studying at CSUN.
10.20%Practically throughout campus
10.20%Question 1= total waste of money! and does it really cost that much to make a better map?? Common CSUN once again is planning on wasting students money. I really hope you find a better way to spend this.

10.20%Sometimes in the library, there exceeds more students to computers. Some stand idly waiting for a student to leave their computer. This is why I chose this issue to be top priority. The second choice is because having internet access all over campus can improve the quality of student's study/social. This way they wouldn't have to relocate, because it can be a hassle when time's limited.
10.20%Sometimes the dorm wireless goes off for hours and it is hard to get things done.
10.20%Sometimes the wireless networks don't work. They should be expanded through more areas
10.20%Sometimes, even when I am in the library, the signal is too weak
10.20%Strengthen signal in TCC and top floors of library. Have wireless range in outdoor areas.

10.20%The access needs to be upgrade throughout the campus. There are areas when there are slow loading and no connection areas. Sierra Hall, Education Building.

10.20%The library, Sierra Hall, The Marketplace/Westside Food Court
10.20%The Music Buildings, Cypress and Nordhoff Halls as well as the parking lots.
10.20%the over all range of it should be expanded to include the parking lots
10.20%The Oviatt Library
10.20%The parking garages along with some outside sitting areas sometimes have limited or no access.
10.20%The parking lot at g4 and all the other structures. Some days people need to do homework and many people prefer to do it in the comfort of their car, and wireless is weak or not able to be accessed.
10.20%The parking lots for students who like to stay in their cars before class starts.
10.20%The parking lots, also some areas such as the food courts the access isn't all that good.
10.20%the private rooms in library were the only place based on my experience that didn't have good access .
10.20%The seats and benches outside all over the campus.
10.20%The sierra center inside, the access is hard to access.
10.20%The Sierra Center,has a lowsy internet connection. I have trouble getting a good connection when I take my laptop. I think it seems to work well around other locations on campus.
10.20%the streets that surround CSUN. not only inside campus but all around so anyone can even study on the street in their parked car or anything.
10.20%THE TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO USE WIRELESS ACCESS IT HAS WORKED FINE BUT IF THERE ARE AREAS ON CAMPUS THAT I HAVE OT VISITED WHERE THE SIGNAL IS NOT GOOD THAT SHOULD BE A PRIORITY.
10.20%The two sierra buildings
10.20%The University Village Apartments(UVA) has students and faculty members that have no current connection with CSUN's internet wireless system. Many of us have children and cannot afford to pay internet service. It would help us financially and academically by giving us access to the internet as many of us take on-line courses. The dorms have acces to the internet considering that we are adjacent to the dorms on Lassen and Zelzah no wireless internet access is available. Please help with this resolve this problem.
10.20%The USU could benefit from wireless access, but I am more concerned with the recent restrictions placed on wireless access. Mainly the restriction of access to off campus systems. The new wireless access system is preventing access to off campus services such as SSH, FTP. These come with security issues but are an extremely important part of the fabric of the internet. That being said the current bandwidth restriction on the wireless network is a pointless and unnecessary restriction that only reduces the quality of campus life.
10.20%the village apartments on zelzah and lassen
10.20%the whole campus
10.20%The WiFi access should cover the whole university. Students are always trying to find a comfortable spot to do the work.
10.20%The wireless access coverage is great! It's the system that seems to be poor. It often cuts out for long periods of time, it occasionally logs you off of the network, and it is rather slow (especially after beginning the "must log in with CSUN ID and password" system.)
10.20%The wireless access should be of course in the library and also food court areas.
10.20%The wireless connection here is horrible it really slow and takes forever for the sign in page to come up.
10.20%The wireless connection is extremely awful at the Sierra Center, the Arbor Grill, and the Manzanita Building.
10.20%The wireless connection is not fully accessible in the library. Please make sure that the connections are strong in all of the grad/study rooms.
10.20%The wireless networks at the library and the CSUN dorms.
10.20%The wireless should extend all the way to plummer and across reaching the track and field.
10.20%There are already computers in the CSUNn library, but there are not really any computers on any other floor but the 1st floor. Perhaps, some computers could be put on the second or third floor as well. Also, maybe the computers in Byramian Hall can be upgraded to have internet access as well. That way, one might not have go over to the library just to use the internet.
10.20%There are areas on campus that you cannot get internet, like in Bayramian Hall and in Sequoia Hall. I only know of places where I have class or where I go to on campus. But overall the internet on campus needs to be improved.
10.20%there are certain parts of the library were access is limited, and also near the business building there is a low signal
10.20%There are dead spots even within the library. That needs to be fixed.
10.20%There are some dead zones, but I don't know where they are right off hand.
10.20%There needs be a reliable means of accessing the internet from every classroom. There are substantial dead zones in the theater building which inherently affect my performance in this class. I specifically need internet access in this course for the research and development portion of television commercial making.
10.20%There needs to be better internet service in the Oviatt Library and Sierra Hall
10.20%there should be access at all buildings on campus
10.20%There should be more wireless access in the science halls such as Live Oak, Eucalyptus, Magnolia
10.20%There should be more wireless strength in lecture halls and upgraded speed for gaming use while in between classes
10.20%There should be wireless access through the complete campus, including all buildings, all quads, all fields, and all parking lots. CSUN may even want to expand the wireless to hit the apartment buildings around the campus to allow students living in those apartments (I'm not one of them) to access the network.
10.20%This may not be practical, but it would be great to be able to access the internet from the parking structures.
10.20%This should be EVERYWHERE ON CAMPUS!! certain areas of Sierra Hall have bad reception, and open space campus area should be considered also!
10.20%through out campus
10.20%Throughout all the school. Inside and out side of the buildins so we, students, can have more access to it.
10.20%Throughout the entire classrooms. Make the networks penetrate the walls inside of all of the buildings. Students should not have to be outside just to get a good wireless signal. Also upgrade the network to allow A/B/N/G networks.
10.20%Throughout. Connections are rather slow, and reliability could be improved.
10.20%to coffee shops around the campus
10.20%to every end of campus
10.20%To outdoor areas such as outside the sierra center and other food courts.
10.20%To reach all ends of the campus. I noticed if i am not close to the library the connection in not that strong.
10.20%to surrounding neighborhoods of CSUN because the surrounding areas are flooded with college students who often can not afford wireless access in their dorms, apartments, or houses.
10.20%to the athletic fields
10.20%To the cafe or outside eating areas.
10.20%To the parking lots.
10.20%To the parking lots. Because some students would like to sit in their car and be on their laptops.
10.20%Towards the fitness center and downstairs by the pool.
10.20%Underneath the library
10.20%upgrade software and expand it all over the campus.
10.20%Upgrade to faster wireless N
10.20%upgraded as in better connection.
10.20%upgraded in manzanita hall, we have been having problems accessing the wireless. When we can access the internet it is usually in and out of service. Also when I'm outside manzanita hall sitting on the grass near the library I don't get service whatsoever.
10.20%Upper floors of buildings results in visibly slower access. Faster general access.
10.20%we should get fast wireless acess at the starbucks near acapulco on reseda 'cause alot of students are there on breaks
10.20%What really needs to be upgraded are the lab computers - they are extremely slow
10.20%Whatever area on or around campus that is currently not covered.
10.20%When trying to log in the screen doesnt always show therefor you cannot log in. Expanded better to Jerome Richfeild area
10.20%Where ever access is low
10.20%whole campus should be accessible
10.20%Wireless accesability could be further expanded upon in the park area in front of the Library.
10.20%wireless access being stronger between the structures. So students are able to access their internet even when they arent close to the structures.
10.20%wireless access between Jerome Richfield Hall and Sierra Hall, Cafeteria should be upgraded. Wireless access should be expanded to all over the campus.
10.20%wireless access in the library is often slow and unavaliable in certain areas
10.20%Wireless access is great in the libraries and would also be great if it were upgraded where students get lunch around campus and socialize.
10.20%wireless access is very poor from the art department area and right off campus near rosco where many students study sessions are held in resturants and coffee houses. To have wireless access expanded in these directions would be great.
10.20%Wireless Access should be accessible in every building on campus, including the Food Markets
10.20%wireless access should be expanded everywhere around CSUN, and i think it should be upgraded as well; especially around the dorms.
10.20%Wireless access should be expanded to all areas of the school and possibly for the parking structures. They should be upgraded so that the connections are quicker. Also, electric outlets should be installed in more places, such as places where there are seating and tables.
10.20%Wireless access should be made faster and should be able to be accessed everywhere on campus
10.20%Wireless access should be readily available anywhere on campus. Students should not struggle to gain access to the web anywhere they should find themselves at CSUN.
10.20%Wireless access should be upgraded and expanded in areas far from the library, so as much students can be on online and the network won't get slower.
10.20%wireless access should be upgraded and expanded in Juniper Hall. The computers in the labs are too slow. Computer Lab hours should also be expanded to 10 pm.
10.20%Wireless access should be upgraded and expanded in the eating areas and or all computer labs, specifically the computer lab in Sierra Hall because the computers are extremely slow.
10.20%Wireless access should be upgraded and expanded in the Oviatt Library and the food court at Sierra Center.
10.20%Wireless access should be upgraded at Sierra Hall food court, plus the 3rd and 4th floor of the library.
10.20%Wireless access should be upgraded in the dorm building number 6, the lounge areas, and the library. Sometimes there is difficulty connecting to the wireless network as I have experienced.
10.20% 
10.20%Wireless access should be upgraded in the dorms and the the are by the library.
10.20%Wireless access should be upgraded in the Education buildings as well as Jerome Richfield. At those locations, the log on capabilities are very weak.
10.20%Wireless access should be upgraded to the fastest possible data rate and expanded to all parts of the campus where students can study and meet.
10.20%Wireless internet should be accesible throughout the entire university, at the dorms, and at least a 30 mile radius surrounding the university.
10.20%Wireless is here at CSUN can be a pain when I'm trying to access it on the 3rd floor of Sierra Hall. I would definitely like it to be easier to access.
10.20%Wireless is TERRIBLE at the bookstore complex. I have never been able to get wireless there... and considering there was just a bunch of money spend putting in TV's and a second story seating area, internet is needed to make it a decent place on campus. I like it there, but with no internet I can't go.
10.20%Wireless must be upgraded to at least Draft-N standards as to allow highest performance and greatest coverage for the dollar. Access should be upgraded in the Marketplace, with higher through-puts and bandwidth to allow for growth as more and more students begin to bring their laptops to school.
10.20%wireless needs to be upgraded in music buildings and by serria tower out in the benches with trees and gravel
10.20%Wireless network access are slow in high traffic areas due to high use. Also, any wireless network has high latency and DNS lookup. Furthermore, please bring back an online way to permanently (or at least for one semester or year) register a wireless device. Leave the current wireless login for one time uses, but also have an option to "remember" a wireless device by redirecting to a sign-up page as stated above. A fine example of this sort of setup can be found at UCSD.
10.20%Wireless should be accessible to students that live close to campus, within their apartments. Specifically the ones from plummer down to dearborn that run down darby.
10.20%Wireless should be avilable in every building in every classroom. Manzanita Hall and Sierra Hall
10.20%Wireless should be expanded/upgraded throughout the entire campus whereby signal strength is not an issue regardless of where you are. Thank You.
10.20%With the changes made to the network over the summer, the wireless performance has degraded considerably. In many classrooms in the Business building, the connection to the wireless and the performance has been terrible. I think there should be a prooper site survey to best provide wireless access to students.
