Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Duke’s network never fails to make all the Internet junkies across campus quiver with delight. It’s fast, easily accessible, well maintained, and virtually ubiquitous (wireless access in every building on campus). There are many computer clusters across campus to use, though most students choose to just bring their own laptops. 

Students need not purchase a printer, as Duke has developed a handy piece of software called ePrint, which enables students to send documents to their own digital printing queue. For example, after sending a particular document to the queue, all a student needs to do is swipe his or her card at any of the dozens of public printing stations across campus, select files to print, and voila!—out comes the paper. Overall, Duke's Office of Information Technology (OIT) is extremely efficient, and students seldom complain about the quality of computing on campus (except when their dorm's ePrint station jams up).

EPRINT

There are tons of computers available and there is no need to get a printer on campus. The only exception is during exam time; be prepared to have to wait in line to print your essay or find a printer out of reach that is not broken. A lot of computers start going down during exam time.

Eprint Is the Best

Duke offers plently of computers, scanners, and printers. There are easy to access and don't cost extra. The only thing that costs extra is color printing and copying, which can be frustrating at times. A laptop is almost a necessity, especially for engineers. Some students have their own printers, but this is not necessary at all.
