When using public Wi-Fi, always use caution and protect your information and devices.
Another possible option for students who are near a college campus other than MSU is using your MSU credentials to access Wi-Fi via Eduroam – a world-wide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community. Visit https://www.eduroam.org/where/ to find a map of global locations and learn how to use this resource. If you choose to use Eduroam and visit a location where it may be available to you, ensure the location is safe and you can maintain social distancing.
