Auburn University - Computers

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

While most students claim that the computer labs on campus are generally easy to access and usually not terribly busy, they almost all recommend bringing your own PC if you have one. Since it’s very important to keep up-to-date with your classes, having your own computer makes life that much easier.

Students enjoy the luxury of the high-speed Internet that the University offers. If you’re living off campus, then using cable or DSL is also a popular choice, especially for students who like to use their computers for reasons other than academics, such as downloading music. For those students who aren’t able to bring a computer to school, the labs on campus are convenient. Just make sure to have that paper printed early during exam week.

It’s always good to bring a personal computer just because you can do work at home on your own time and don’t have to worry about if the labs are open or available, and the campus charges to print stuff. The labs are good and usually not too packed until midterm and final time. 12345 Computers Report

Facts

Did You Know?

To use a computer on campus, you have to sign in and use a password. It’s a good idea to synchronize your password with all the accounts you use on campus (TigerMail, OASIS, WebCT) so that you don’t have several different passwords to memorize. Also, don’t forget to sign out when you’re done using the computer! If you don’t sign out, then someone could abuse your account or hack other computers, and you will be held accountable.
