Going Wireless in my Dorm

My university offers a nice ethernet connection, but it's not wireless. (Wireless is confined to classrooms, library, and outdoors). So, I don't want to be chained to a desk while I'm in my dorm nor do I want to have a 40 foot cable extend from my computer to wall while I'm using the computer on my bed.

Therefore, my question is: what type of device should I be looking into to gain that bit of freedom. I'm looking at an AirPort Express, but it's a tad expensive at $129, but it is nice and tiny. Any other small and cheap solutions?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Okay. So the cable's 40 feet long, but the distance is really like 7 feet max.

Thanks. It's really up to my parents now. I'll keep the password changes in mind.

Well, I think I'll invest in one and use it until the school says anything.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Okay. I have a question. Russ suggested this.

However, I found something a little cheaper. Any major differences. I really can't tell.
