Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The Brandeis network is awesome. The Brandeis administration has taken no stance on file sharing and has actually made file sharing access easier within the Brandeis network. However, Brandeis has been contacted by the government for its students' excessive illegal dowloading.

The Library and Technology Services (LTS) system is excellent when you need computer or research help. When you first come to Brandeis, LTS will help you set up your computer and your phone, and will even install Norton AntiVirus. Almost everyone has a personal computer here, but while it is very helpful to have your own computer, it is not essential. There are many computers, both Macs and PCs, available at the libraries and in the Shapiro Campus Center. Between classes, people love to stop and check their e-mail, so the computer labs can fill up very quickly then. If you have a laptop and don't want to work in your room, most of the campus is wireless, and authorizing your computer is very easy.

Computers at Brandeis

Some computers, like the macs in the mac lab and SCC library, are really nice. But the computers in the main library are slow and old. Printing is expensive, and the printers in the SCC library don't always work. Sometimes, you can't find a spot.

Computers

Computers seem to be available in many places on campus which is good, the only thing is you have to pay for printing unless you're in typ or sssp. The network and speed are usually very reliable and service is basically everywhere on campus. People do have their own printers sometimes for convenience.
