Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Clark's on-campus Information Technology Services provides support to all students, meaning that means that if your computer breaks, someone will come and fix it for free! As for the campus network, Clark is not the place to fulfill your p2p downloading dreams. Almost every p2p program is severely handicapped on purpose during the work day. After that, net traffic caused by other campus users takes up all the bandwidth for file sharing. But, if you absolutely must have a fast connection, the individual broadband service cannot be beat. Laptop users get the added benefit of a constantly growing wireless area. The wireless network requires students to register with their Clark e-mail address and password at the beginning of each the school year and then again around February because it expires after six months.

The Clark labs are kept clean and maintained. The peak times when they get crowded is usually around 1 or 2 p.m., with that timespan increasing around midterms and finals, but if you plan correctly, you shouldn’t have a problem. Even with such great labs, Clark and the tech department recommend that you purchase a computer before attending the school. You could survive for a little while using the computer lab alone, but it would be the equivalent of ditching the meal plan too early and living off of ramen for a year. You wouldn’t die, but you wouldn’t really be alive either.

Clark Computer

The Computers at Clark are ample if you know where to go. There's plenty of options for the small school. The only time it really get backed up is during midterms and finals. The WiFi is pretty good, and the printing allowance is more than enough.

The Library Only Gets Crowded During Finals

We have many different computer labs and two different libraries. I'm not even sure where all the computer labs are because there are so many. Each semester we have 35 dollars worth of free printing, which is great, because I thought I used a lot of paper last semester, but I still had 19 dollars left over. Most of the network reliability is good, except for a few of the dorms. It's still pretty good, but sometimes it disconnects for a few seconds and you just have to refresh the page a couple times. The main library has 5 floors, and the other library is one library totally dedicated to scientific research, textbooks, etc and there is always a place to study on campus when you need one, but you just have to be able to look for a good place earlier in the day during finals weeks.
