Unless they use wireless isolation and such it would probably be quite easy to get into other peoples laptops...

It might have changed since I went to college/school but if they were anything like where I went the network security was a joke.

The machines we used in my first year of college were setup in such a way that if you knew the path you could gain full access to everyone else in the classes Network drive

Fortunately most of the people in the class weren't clever enough to notice, and those of us did decided it was better not to abuse it to much (we did play the odd trick on each other like move files and hide them but never anything destructive, bearing in mind if we were that way inclined we could have deleted/modfied/copied anyones work. )
