Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Although you can usually find an open computer at one of Binghamton’s many pods and the 24-hour computer lab makes it possible to work straight through the night, students unanimously agree that, can you afford it, having your own computer is the way to go. The convenience of high-speed networking, e-mail, and Instant Messenger from the comfort of your own dorm room is just too good to pass up.

When it is working, Binghamton’s Ethernet connection for personal computers is among the fastest available. Unfortunately, the connection has grown more unreliable in recent years, in part due to an increase in personal computers on campus and increased downloading. Despite this, most students would rather work from their own computer than brave the occasional crowds of the computer pods. Of course, if money is a problem and a personal computer is an impossibility, the pods are convenient and available to all.

There's Always a Computer Free If You Look

If you need a computer, go to the library, and you will find one. This is especially helpful if you need to print something out on the way to class, because you will always be able to do it right away, and you will never be late.

Easy to Find (Except During Finals!)

WiFi is all over the place at Binghamton, but if you find yourself without your computer handy, there are a bunch of Mac and PC computer labs all over the campus. It's harder to find an open computer as finals loom closer, but a little searching can almost always turn up a free station.

Computer Usage

There are computers in the library that people use. In the beginning of the semester there aren't many people but a few weeks in the place is crowded and busy. I advise to take your laptop to a different floor to get work done and print from it if necessary.
