Great on-Campus Computers

The computer labs on campus are pretty great, even if they do fill up during midterms and finals weeks. On campus computers have a lot of software you wouldn't pay for on your own, like Matlab and Solidworks for engineers, and Adobe photoshop, illustrator, and others in the Design Mac lab.

You definitely should bring your own computer (whether a laptop, desktop or both), because the dorms do not have any public computers. They also got rid of printers in dorms, so you have to print at the library or in an academic computer lab. The libraries are open 8am-2am, but if you want immediate printer access or you live up on the hill, you should probably get your own printer (or find a friend who has one).

Printing on Campus

It has been free to print from the public printers in the libraries and computer labs; however, new policy has recently been imposed that every student now has a printing quoto of about 7000 pages per semester. If over the quota, the student has to pay for the printing.

Lots of Labs

There are computer labs all over campus, so it's relatively easy to find a place and almost all computer labs have a printer in them. Wireless is in most building and you just need your username and password to access it. There is no wireless in the dorms, so you will need an ethernet cord for your computer.
