Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Though a personal computer is highly desirable to the average college student for e-mail, downloading, instant messaging, and Facebooking, students do not need their own computers to survive (though finding an open computer in the library on a Sunday evening is next to impossible). Computers are available in the Campus Center for students to quickly check their e-mail, and there are computer labs in every dorm on campus, as well as in many academic buildings. While the majority of campus is wired to PCs, several of the labs are equipped with up-to-date Macintosh computers. Computer labs are open to all students. Black-and-white printing is also free, but don’t even try to abuse the color printer in Olin Hall by printing off fun pictures from your rendezvous the weekend before—the lab assistants will give you an earful, and you'll be billed for it.

Perhaps the most frustrating part of the technology on campus is Computer Helpline. Though open everyday for phone support, room calls are only available for first-years upon move-in, and Thursdays are the only day that students can bring in their machines to be looked at. Likewise, the campus-wide network can go down occasionally, causing quite a large panic, and making it a hassle to communicate in our increasingly technology-dependent society. While most of the staff is highly competent and helpful, you are better off finding a tech-savvy friend to help you with computer problems, unless you have fantastic patience.

Computers

Computers are readily available, in the dorms with more people the internet can be a little slow but other than that it is fine.

Abundance of Computers

There are tons and tons of computers available on campus- in the library (which has late hours), in the residence halls, in the student union, and in each academic building. I have never had a problem finding an available computer when I need it.
