Saturday I'm leaving for a conference in Bologna. I don't know much about what sort of internet access I'll have — but I just read about the frustration of finding a wireless connection in Italy so who knows.

The MiamiLaw admit rate is vastly lower than when I started here, and the LSATs much higher. (Hard to evaluate higher GPAs in light of grade inflation.)

Bologna is beautiful. You will eat very well. The Johns Hopkins SAIS campus (at Via Belmeloro 11) has free Wifi now, I think. Out of curiosity, what is the conference?
mmm…. bologna
When I was in Italy several years ago, I didn’t bring my laptop, so I can’t advise as to wireless connections. However, pretty much every place I went, including Bologna, had internet cafes where you bought time on their computers, so you’ll certainly have internet access.
If you are going to be in Bologna, do yourself a favor and don’t waste any time trying to hunt down a wireless connection. Just enjoy the city.
I found lots of Internet Cafes in Italy but most required me to show a passport in order to use their computers, which apparently is legally required.
