Networking Most rooms in USF residence halls are equipped with high-speed Ethernet connections, which allows students to connect their computers to the campus network and also to the Internet. Students who share a room must share the network connection. Check the ITS web page for more information on minimum requirements for Macs and PC's, procedures, for requesting a connection in your room, where to purchase Ethernet cards and adapters, and how to get your Ethernet hardware installed and configured. Each lounge is equipped with comfortable sofas and chairs for formal or informal gatherings of students. There are also big screen televisions in all major lounges and color televisions located in floor TV lounges throughout the buildings.
