Loyola University Chicago - Computers

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

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.

Computer labs have become more... Computer labs have become more crowded over the years due to the increase in enrollment, so just memorize the busy times: early in the morning when people are typing papers, lunch, and almost perpetually during exams, especially at night. Beware that each student is only allotted a certain amount of printouts each semester, and after that its five cents a page on your bursar bill. 12345 Computers Report

Loyola provides high speed... Loyola provides high speed Internet access to all its students. Most dorm rooms are equipped with the high speed Internet which makes instant messaging and downloading MP3s the two most popular campus activities. 12345 Computers Report

You are paying something like... You are paying something like $80,000 for the college education. Pay the extra grand, and bring your own computer. It will be worth it when you don’t have to shlep across campus on some cold January night to write the paper you have been putting off for weeks. 12345 Computers Report

Oftentimes, if you do get a computer, programs do not load correctly or are absent completely from the PC, or, if you’re really lucky, continually bombard you with porn pop-ups. 12345 Computers Report
