Luther College
- Computers

Always a Computer Free!

Luther is equipped with and an astounding number of computer laps (the largest found in the library). All of the computers across campus are open to student use, and you can always find one free. All computers are connected to the college's intranet, so we can access our H Drive (a storage device for students to save any of their work to be pulled up at any other computer location). There is wireless internet available throughout Luther's campus. Printing costs are covered in the Students' 'technology fee'--we are allowed 400 pages per semester.

Labs Basically Used for Printing and Finals

The computer labs at Luther College are fairly open except during the week of Finals. All the dorms are now WiFi, and all of them include printing labs and printers. It is nice if you use the Luther computers to do papers because you have your own hard drive that you can access from any computer on campus whether it be your dorm, the library, the science building, or the union.

Just Bring Your Own Computer, Beware of Printers

Most of the computers in the labs least used are not up to date, therefore are really slow or typically don't work well. The labs have their busy times, so it would be best to bring your own laptop/computer of some sort. Network is sometimes reliable, but it can be a pain to get onto the network sometimes, and sometimes to STAY on the network. They've started charging for printing (5 cents a page), which can feel constricting because you feel worried about overdrawing your printing account, especially if you are an English major/minor who prints a lot of papers. But, bringing your own printer may not be much help as you'd have to pay for the ink, which could sometimes be just as much.
