Well you need a Wireless 802.11b PC Card, such as this http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=118209&cks=PRL or even cheaper http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=45000&item=5712534652&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW and then you'll need to find all the settings needed to connect to your college wireless LAN...which college is it?
