Wayne State University

A Whole New Experience

Computer Resources


Apartments in University Tower are wired for Internet access with WSU ResNet. ResNet is a campus network that provides a dedicated network connection. A direct network connection allows you to access the Internet and campus resources easier and up to 10 Megabytes faster than a conventional modem. You must provide your own computer.
