Got a project due and your computer crashed? Visit one of LMU’s numerous computer labs around campus. The main computer lab in the new William H. Hannon Library boasts 80 computers with capabilities ranging from Web browsing and word processing to image and video editing. The computer lounge in St. Roberts’ basement houses approximately 25 computer Mac computers, which offer the full Microsoft office suite. Labs get crowded, especially toward the end of the semester, and the charge for printing adds up quickly. The labs are nice for group projects, but for a last-minute paper, you are better off with your own computer and printer to avoid competition for a spot in the labs. If you need to use one of the computer labs, it might be worth it to try the smaller labs in University Hall. Although they are open for limited hours most of the semester, these labs tend to be empty and quiet.

Words of caution when using the LMU computer network: the system is shut down for maintenance often—usually at the most inconvenient times. Viruses also run rampant through the system and attack users through e-mail. Often, users receive e-mails containing viruses, so use up-to-date anti-virus software with warnings about the latest virus on campus.

Plus, they’re always repairing the network at the weirdest times, and it’s always during finals or midterms. 12345 Computers Report
