Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

What may have been a problem for Loyola a few years ago has turned into one of the better aspects of the school. With the construction of the Information Commons, Loyola has taken its technologically-backward reputation and become a true 21st century university. There are multiple computer labs across campus, all computers are tethered to a single network, and students can effectively print from their computer in their dorm room into any print station on campus. While the University is predominantly Windows-based, there are several Apple labs, and students are able to use their universal log-in across the network. Most of the computers on campus come equipped with the most basic software (i.e., Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office), but it is not impossible to find computers installed with any number of advanced programs, depending on the task.

Ok Computers on Loyola Chicago Campus

There is printing and computers available in the Information Commons located next to the library. The IC has both Mac and PC desktops and printers you can print from using Rambler Bucks (money you or your parents put on your card for laundry and such) on your student i.d. card. Some of the dorms also have computer labs as does the student union. The network is fairly poor, its rather slow and often you have to turn off your WiFi repeatedly and turn it back on to get it to work. A personal computer and printer are very useful to have although not 100% necessary.

Only Crowded During Finals and Midterms

Al the computers at Loyola are pretty good, but sometimes they can be slow. Also, it does get super crowded around finals.

Pretty Good!

New Information Commons (IC) has PLENTY of computers. Even during finals there are computers available. Printing is also easy in the IC. Wifi network can be slow at times in dorms, but usually it's very quick. I don't see a need for a personal printer for any other reason but convenience. Personal computer is a plus. Even if there are lots of open computers in the IC having your own laptop makes things easier. Can't complain about the technology here!
