I need to buy a mouse for my macbook pro but cannot get a Wireless one because there is no wireless network in the dorm rooms, which is where this mouse will be used. Should I go with a bluetooth mouse (preferred) or a wired one?
 
A wireless mouse doesnt use a wireless network, your thinking of WiFi. Besides, a bluetooth mouse would be considered a wireless mouse.

There are several types of wireless mice (bluetooth, RF, Ir, etc). If you can afford it, I would go with a bluetooth mouse.

Oh I thought wireless mice used a wireless network. Why would you go bluetooth over regular wireless?

Range for one. The two most common types of wireless mice and keyboards are either bluetooth, or RF (radio frequency). RF-wireless devices are usually alot cheaper then bluetooth, however RF has a much shorter range. So I would go with bluetooth mainly because of the longer range, which would allow me to control the computer from up to 30 feet or so. But if you have no plans for that, then RF should be fine.
 
i highly recommend the logitech VX Revolution. it is an RF wireless laser mouse, which is very accurate, and extremely comfortable. i have one and i love it!!!
the battery lasts for a very long time (i heard 120 days, but i havent had mine that long), plus when youre not using it, the USB receiver fits inside the mouse. they run about $50-$70, but i got mine for $35 at Sams Club.

I use the mouse with my left hand lol
 
how bout an apple bluetooth mouse just throwing that out there like the mighty mouse
or I've used some microsoft wireless mouses that have worked very well
 
if you game at all (probably not if you are using a mac) but wireless mice have a tendency to lag sometimes, not to mention you have to charge it
