Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

If there’s one thing that Claremont McKenna funnels their resources into, it’s technology. Especially for a small school, CMC impresses with its vast supply of technological resources. There are three computer labs on campus, two of which are open 24 hours a day. The computer labs have a variety of Macs and PCs, including some double monitors. On any given day, it’s easy to just sit down at a computer; when finals roll around, it’s hit-or-miss. CMCers also enjoy free unlimited printing, which is the main use of computer labs.

Technology is just as easy out of the lab as in it. In every dorm room, there are two Internet jacks for wired Internet, which is really fast. All five of the Claremont Colleges are also wireless, so it's possible to work outside/on another campus. Also, each dorm has an RTA (Resident Technology Assistant) to help with computer questions. They come around to everyone in their dorm and are actually really helpful. All in all, technology at CMC is fast and easy; everybody loves it!

Lots of computers, not so many round about midterms/finals. Wireless EVERYWHERE. You can get Mathematica for free on your computer if you ask the IT dept.

Claremont Computers

With computer labs always available (even with online updates about which computers are open), logging on to CMC's network is the easiest! With free printing for all students, getting your papers printed out ontime before class is never a problem. The IT people are so useful and each dorm has a RTA to solve any tech issues you have.

Make My Internet Work, Damnit.

The computer labs are often crowded. Wireless is sporadic at best during finals. Even wired connections cut out occasionally.
