Laptop Wireless Access

We have some excellent news: Hilderstone College now has wireless internet access throughout the college, for the exclusive use of Hilderstone students. Current students are already taking the opportunity to surf the internet, send emails and complete homework on their laptops, and are enjoying being able to do this with a coffee in the Common Room or while sitting in our sunny garden. We would like to encourage all future students to bring their laptops with a wireless card and make use of this new facility!
