Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Emory strives to maintain a beautiful campus, and part of this means stylish and expensive computers nearly everywhere you look. From the Dobbs University Student Center to the gym, colorful Macintoshes light up the walls, and allow students high-speed Internet access from almost anywhere. There are classifieds, chat rooms, and information boards, and many teachers set up conferences for their students to interact and ask questions. For scheduling and grade information, the system is called OPUS, and it works quickly and efficiently as well.

As far as computer labs go, Emory has used its large endowment for the better. The main library features all flat-screen PCs, and some Macs in the lobby for quick information. Emory recently renovated Cox Computer Lab, and it has quickly become a student favorite with its flashy interior design, dual-screen setups, and great team workstations. Anyone visiting Emory would be very impressed with the computer labs here, and they are definitely a selling point of the campus tours. The only time that the computer labs are too crowded is during midterms and especially during finals; otherwise, there is always a computer to be had on one of the three floors of the library, or in the Cox Computer Lab. I would recommend having a laptop, as every table in the library has Internet and Ethernet hookups and plugs, as does every dorm room and study room on campus.

Good Technology, Wireless Can Be Slow on Clairmont

The computers are all pretty much Macs, and you can find any program/technology in certain labs. Printing is a bit pricey; wireless can be slow on Clairmont Campus

Computers on Campus

The computers on campus are pretty up-to-date with regard to their operating systems and technological capabilities. The computer labs are fairly available however, they get crowded easily during finals and midterms. Printing, just as on every college campus, costs however, it is typically paid for using money pre-loaded onto your Emory Card. The network on campus is reliable however, the speed slows down when wireless capabilities from printers interfere with the campus wireless network. I would recommend bringing a laptop as it makes it easier to do your work without having to leave your room to find a computer lab or available computer. I would not recommend getting a printer unless you know that your class(es) will require you to print many papers or information. Otherwise you can share with a roommate (or get your own if you do not feel too comfortable doing so). ;)
