I've heard that the first floor is the Substance-free floor at Whidden. Can anyone confirm this?  |

Well, it's only "substance free" if you aren't of age yet. Except for the actual substance free floor... but you can still drink in your room if you are of age.
Edit: Oh and no bottles or containers of a certain size (not sure about the later, but I think that's right).

I believe the University uses T1... You can get 1Gbps depending on your cable. I haven't seen anything under 100Mbps though.

It also depends on what you are using for the video chat. You should use Skype, I think it's the best.
Yes, ethernet cables are provided.

I second Skype! I've tried it in rez and it's not bad. I've also used Gtalk's video chat app thingy and iChat (for Macs only). Both work well too. |

How does the garbage work? Do we have to bring our own garbage cans and garbage bags? And how do we take it out? Thanks.

There will be a garbage can and recycling bin in your room (one per person) then you can throw your garbage in designated garbage rooms and recycling bins in your common room.
EDIT: Oh, and the recycling bins are collected once everyweek...garbage everyday (except weekends) |

garbage bags are useful, although you can use regular plastic shopping bags for the cans.
each room is provided with a garbage can and recycling bin per person in the room. so dont bring cans, but yes bags!
