Cornell University - Computers

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

Cornell’s computing capabilities are top of the line. Most students agree that computer labs are easily accessible, convenient, and well equipped. All labs are outfitted with high speed Internet access (some with wireless) and any software you can think of. Operating systems include both Windows and Mac OS. Furthermore, the Cornell information technologies staff is extremely efficient about resolving problems and troubleshooting personal computing issues.

All libraries are outfitted with computer terminals where you can check e-mail on the run or send an instant message to a friend in between classes. Even though Cornell takes computing very seriously and recognizes the educational benefits of staying up-to-date on cutting-edge technologies, students will still benefit from having a personal computer, which will make their work that much more convenient and efficient. With a personal computer, you may still check in with on-campus services such as the Library Gateway.

Library search stations are generally available, but not all computing facilities are full productivity. RedRover is fast, and Wi-Fi computing on the slope is pretty sweet. 12345 Computers: February 25, 2009 Report

Cornell has installed a wireless network system in all of the libraries, and students may check out laptops so they can seclude themselves in the stacks. Having your own computer is convenient during late night hours when most public computer labs lock up. 12345 Computers Report

Computer labs are everywhere. You... Computer labs are everywhere. You can get into one at almost any reasonable hour of the night. The networks are good, and lab technicians can help you with any problems. You don’t need to bring a computer, but it is nice to have one at your disposal at all times. 12345 Computers Report
