Go out the side door (where you will catch busses to Mckormic) take a right. At the corner you will see the Caribou coffee on the opposite corner.
To tell you the truth you will not have much time to get online. I brought my laptop and it was a waste of space. I was way too busy bonding with clustermates and socializing with fellow cheffers.
