Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In comparison to big state schools and high-powered private universities, Gonzaga’s computer network may seem rather primitive. However, it is making slow but sure steps towards acceptability. A few years ago, most of the gargantuan stone-age monitors were replaced with flatscreens. Wireless access is also available in many campus buildings and all of downtown. Gonzaga has an internal network for file sharing, and students can store and access work from anywhere on the FTP server. People don’t have major problems with the computers because most only use them to check e-mail, print, and write essays. Furthermore, most people who don’t bring computers discover that the key to success lies not in the labs, but in mooching from friends.

Really, Gonzaga’s computers are no hot shakes. The network jams and backs up, causing panic and cursing as everyone tries to print papers at the last minute. The computers are far from top-of-the-line. The time it takes to log onto the system can be wildly erratic. The printers are barely functional and rarely free—most places require a printing card separate from a student card. The wireless signal is often weak, limiting the places where you can do work. None of this should bother you too much if you have your own computer, but just don’t get your expectations up.

Nothing Special

There are plenty of computers on campus to use if you absolutely need to. Virtually every student has a laptop so the desktops are rarely used. There are computer labs that never seem to be too full, when there are not any classes going on in them.
