Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Hamilton College has many computers for student use. The multimedia center is more than adequate, boasting all of the programs graphic designers and computer media students could want. In addition to the computers in the library, Beinecke student center has Dells, KJ has three computer rooms of varying size (from about 45 to 15), and the Science Building has large computer labs on every floor, ranging from bioinformatic portals to computational chemistry supercomputers. The only criticisms students have of the computer facilities is that they are overcrowded around midterms and finals, and the printers always jam when you’re trying to print something important. If you can, bring your own computer and limit computer lab time. Hamilton’s Information Technology Services (ITS) provides tech support for most computer operating systems and wireless adaptors, but not for all. Therefore, it is highly recommended that students talk with them before purchasing new computer equipment.

Hamilton has been made completely wireless, allowing students to access the Internet from just about everywhere imaginable on campus. On the few precious warm days, students can be found outside doing homework and getting some much needed sun. Occasionally the network gets bottlenecked during peak hours, but for the most part, it's lightening fast, especially when surfing academic sites.

There's Always a Computer Somewhere

Although there may not always be room in the writing lab or library computer lab, there are plenty of computers scattered around campus. Try the Q-Lit center or Language Lab if you are having trouble finding an available computer, and there will definitely be one available.

Not Too Shabby...

Not too shabby. The library has a good number of Macs and PCs, there's more over at the writing center, and a few in the student center (ELS) if you need one. You have your laptop, so it's not like you're dependent on the computers, but they're there if you need them. Printing has a quota, but it's pretty hard to go over on it (I print a lot, trust me.) Occasional downtime with the wireless network, but if you reset your connection, you're usually back up and running in ten minutes max.

Bring a Laptop

There are both Macs and PCs in computer labs. The computers themselves are very nice. There are lots of places to print, although a few of the printers are notorious for not working properly. The campus is completely wireless, although some people have difficulty staying connected to the internet. Definitely a laptop is a must-- sometimes the computer labs fill up. Also, it's nice to work outside.
