Actually the mini-PCI cards can be cheaper - look at the Dell Wireless Online link in my sig below and look at the Intel 2200 mini-PCI card.

any pcmcia wireless B card should work ...  (or wireless G or A if your college supports those standards)

if you want to pay more, you could probably also get a MPCI card from dell

That will work ...  it's PCMCIA so it's not completely internal though.  Your college most likely only uses B as well.  For reference, you can get a plain B card for around $10

...the XPS (click on my sig) has an internal mini-PCI slot on the bottom of the unit (towards the front, middle of the notebook). The Dell Truemobile mini-PCI wireless cards and the Intel mini-PCI wireless cards install here. See the Dell Accessories page for details. I have the Dell TM 1450 (802.11a/b/g) card in my XPS.

Using an internal mini-PCI wireless card frees up the PCMCIA slot for other uses.

DELL Wireless 1350 802.11b/g WLAN Mini PCI Notebook Card
DELL Wireless 1450 802.11a/b/g WLAN Mini PCI Notebook Card
INTEL PRO Wireless 2200 802.11b/g Mini PCI Card
INTEL PRO Wireless 2100 miniPCI Notebook Adapter (802.11b only)
 
Don't bother with the Intel 2100. It is only 11b, and it costs too much.
 
802.11a operates at the frequency: 5 GHz
802.11b and 802.11g operate at the frequency: 2.4 GHz
 
If you want other sources, you are on your own.
