So this is different than my testing results.  The iPad I am using
(currently on 7.0.3) always connects to the last network I was last
connected to.  I have done this several times now with three SSIDs.  One
starts with D, eduroam and the last one (our primary) Mwireless.

The only time I connected to eduroam was when I was leaving a coverage
area.  I dropped MWireless and it tried to connect to eduroam (may have
connected briefly).  However, if I left the area while it was connected to
MWireless, when I came back it would still connect to MWireless.  I also
tried turning off WiFi with same results.
