I worked in IT support as an undergrad ten years ago and am now going to grad school and using eduroam. It is such a night-and-day difference; I'm so incredibly pleased that there was enough international and inter-institutional cooperation to make it work.
I especially like it when I open up my laptop at a new coffee shop and discover it's already connected to eduroam—in the city I live in (Edinburgh) there are enough university buildings scattered around that a surprising percentage of the city center is covered. The National Library also uses eduroam.
