This will only add to the university's connected feeling. The campus already has tons of wi-fi coverage, and when u add the iphone/ipod touch into that, it makes it even better. And to the comment about ACU not being a party school, you are correct. But to the part about not having a life, I think that is not a good statement at all. If all u want to do in college is drink and party, go somewhere else. But if u actually want to have fun in school, get a great education, and get an iphone, well acu's your place!! Lol. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[E.P.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 26th 2008 2:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/26/acu-dishing-out-iphone-ipod-touch-to-all-incoming-freshmen/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/26/acu-dishing-out-iphone-ipod-touch-to-all-incoming-freshmen/</guid><description><![CDATA[Does AT&T offer any discount to ACU students on service? If not I'd just take the iPod touch and use my current service provider. <br><br>The college I went to (Arizona State) just started offering mothly access discounts (10%) and sweet discounts on phone to students through Verizon Wireless, any student who could provide a valid student ID card could receive a nice discount on service, phones, and accessories. Alumni and employees at ASU also get a discount too.<br><br>I'm curious if any other service providers offer discounts to students of any college or university.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[elgee02]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 26th 2008 2:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/26/acu-dishing-out-iphone-ipod-touch-to-all-incoming-freshmen/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/26/acu-dishing-out-iphone-ipod-touch-to-all-incoming-freshmen/</guid><description><![CDATA[ATT offers discounts to IU students -- 12% of the voice plan.

I think this a neat idea, but I had the same questions regarding cellular data rates, etc.  We are an ATT family, so at least we can use it on our family plan.  I had actually been thinking about getting him an iPhone when he went to college.  Now, for what we will be paying, we should all get a nifty new phone!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[blane]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 27th 2008 6:16PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
