I just started taking online college classes and was wondering if I could go anywhere and still get internet access?

You have to be within range of a wireless transmitter--usually within a few hundred feet, plus the transmitter has to be open to free public access. Once in a while you may encounter a home wireless system you can access because the owners don't have any securty but they are being idiots for leaving it open.
