College Prowler Take

Almost all Lehigh students will agree that the campus computer network is reliable and fast. There are plenty of computer labs, which enables most students to get access to a computer whenever they need one. Obviously, the computer labs are busiest during midterms and finals, but intrepid students usually can find a computer after a bit of searching. Despite the fact that there are plenty of computers readily available, most students bring computers with them anyway, especially freshmen, as it can be a pain to trek down to the libraries, especially during Bethlehem’s cold winters.

Students who have trouble with their PCs can call the WIRED service, which has normal business hours, and schedule an appointment with a computer technician. The WIRED techs are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Overall, you’ll be happier with your own computer at just about any college than without one.

Personally, I think if every student can bring his/her own computer; it’s much more convenient. There are numerous computer labs on campus to choose from. Labs are not always crowded, and if a student had to wait for a computer, he/she would not have to wait very long.

The network is great! It’s so fast! There are two big libraries on campus, and they both have a ton of computers. Bring your own, though. When you see the amount of work you get bombarded with, it’s nice to have the freedom to do it in your own room instead of having to run around every time you need to get something done.

You can usually find a computer to use in the labs, though during midterms or finals, it’s a little more difficult. In any case, I would definitely recommend bringing your own computer because the freshman dorms are a hike to the computer labs, and almost all of your classes require computer work.

You can bring your own or use one of the many labs on campus. I never had a problem with finding or using one while I lived on or off campus.

Computing facilities are decent. There are usually available computers in the labs, but most students bring their own computer.
