It has gotta be about a week since a college list has come out…so with no further ado: PC Magazine and The Princeton Review’s “most wired college list:

1. Villanova
2. MIT
3. Indiana University
4. Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania
5. Creighton University in Nebraska,
6. the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,
7. Michigan Technological University,
8. University of Southern California,
9. Quinnipiac University in Connecticut and
10. the University of Oklahoma.

What intrigues me about this list is the real diversity: Flagship Tech places to small liberal art schools. Public and private, everyone is trying to bridge digital the digital divide. What do the most wire campuses look like?

At Villanova, first-year students are given laptops — and replacements after their sophomore year. Nursing students get personal digital assistants, and engineers get tablet PCs. Over the Internet, students can register for classes, download lectures, take exams and get grades. Tech-support calls are guaranteed a response within 24 hours. No. 2 MIT boasts its own operating system and open courseware available via the Web to educators and students around the world. No. 3 Indiana boasts the country’s fastest university-owned supercomputer and largest disk-based storage facility.
