� What did participants use WLANs for? Almost all the participants had multiple reasons for using WLANs on campus. Two participants used the WLANs just for surfing the Internet and 13 participants used them for research only. All the rest (49 participants) had multiple reasons. Research was definitely the most important reason for using WLANs on campus, with 53 responses. Surfing the Internet was second, with 38 responses. Shopping on the Internet had the least, with two responses and playing Internet games was just one more than shopping on the Internet. Chatting on the Internet and E-learning had exactly the same number, with 18 each. Getting entertainment and downloading from the Internet had close results with 14 and 15. Having discussion over the Internet had nine responses. Only one participant was doing all those activities via WLANs on campus. Other activities included checking emails with three responses, and doing assignments and studying with one response each.

� Places where participants got Internet before WLANs were provided on campus: Surfing the Internet, shopping on Internet, research, entertainment, chatting, Internet games, discussion, E-learning, downloading, checking emails and doing assignments were 11 activities that participants usually did via WLANs. Almost 60% of participants liked to get on the Internet at one specific place and did not like to change. On the other hand, 40% of participants had two places as a minimum and four places as a maximum. Based on the survey results and as can be seen in the figure below, home (78% of responses) was the first place that students went to for those activities, before the campus provided WLANs. It was followed by computer lab, library and Internet Café. Only one participant mentioned place of work place and another one mentioned in class.
