Wifi may not be Wireless Internet. Example? WiMax.
Your college will have more information on what they require... But if you have a Wifi 802.11g card, it's likely to work out fine.

Excuse my ignorance, but is wireless internet the same as Wi-Fi?
My daughter purchased a laptop for college that is Wi-Fi capable, does she need to do anything with her laptop so she can start using this feature or is it ready to go out of the box?
Thanks for your help, this tech stuff is not my cup of tea but I guess I'll need to start learning this.
