Best way to place wifi antenna 10m away from computer?

I get free wireless Internet from my school, but the only place in my
apartment where I can get a signal is 10 meters of cable distance away
from the only place I can put my computer desk.

What are the cheapest or best solutions to this problem?

USB Wi-Fi adapter with 5 meter cable, extended with an active USB
extension cable, for a total cable length of 10 meters. The Hawking
dish adapter can help to improve signal and performance.

I live just off campus, so it's "not their problem."
