I'm surprised that nobody in here has batted an eye at the assumption that it is better to do this type of activity at home or that if one has a laptop ("can afford one") it must mean that they can also afford internet access. I know I'm not the only college student around here, and I can think of a bunch of reasons for thinking a public place with free wi-fi is infinitely better than whatever "private" setup a student has at "home" (the dorms or some over-crowded shared apartment off campus). Also, not all schools provide free internet. I know that Juilliard students in the dorms have to pay for their internet while my school included it in all the rooms. If I were a student who received a laptop as a present (which is pretty common), I would not have been able to afford internet access in my room unless my school already provided it with the cost of housing and I most certainly would not have wanted to take out an extra $x a month in student loans to make it happen.
