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).

Total Access

We have great wi fi access and speed. There are printers and computer labs all over campus with brand new mac computers. Most people have their own computer so the computer labs are open unless there is a random class. Our printing service is the best. We can print from our own laptops and then retrieve our print jobs with our swipe card from a kiosk. The printing cost is technically free!
