Students react to Internet outages

Hope for a snow day and concern that the world is ending.

  1. Some students hoped the inclement weather, coupled with the Internet outage, would mean that there would be a snow day or that spring break would start a few days early. Many schools are taking midterm exams this week, and students also complained about how they couldn't do their homework:

    Mon=campus-wide power outage, Tues=state-wide university internet outage. Michigan needs to take the hint & let us on spring break already.

    It's comical that the Internet at the University of Michigan went down tonight right during midterms.

  17. But some students were resourceful and found their own way to get online.
  18. Internet outage solution: 1.Tape your photo to the window 2.Make a hotspot. 3.Tweet a pic of it using your 2nd phone http://pic.twitter.com/IEhtLEfb2w
