College Prowler Take
Middlebury sports a fully functional wired and wireless network in all of the residence halls and academic buildings, as well as computer labs dotted throughout campus. Considering the size of the school, Middlebury has more than enough computers to go around—both Macs and PCs. All of the lab computers are in good condition and connected to the network. However, even with the availability of computers and 24-hour labs, you should still bring your own. Internet access in your dorm, which is included in your comprehensive tuition fee anyway, is the key to indulging in neurotic e-mail and IM habits and enjoying endless hours of Facebook stalking (which hones one’s vital procrastination skills). Middlebury has so many computers relative to the number of students that you will almost never have to worry about getting access. The exception would be finals week, when you may have to try a few computer labs before you track down a vacant cubby. There is a broad range of software in the labs, all available for student use. If you ever “lose” that 20-page paper, there is a help desk staffed by students who can recover lost files, uncover the intricacies of lab software, or give you suggestions on to how to avoid future computer meltdowns. Furthermore, the system, with its endless reels of server space, allows for the brilliant exchange of movies, television programs, music files, and more within the network. Students Speak Out

The computer labs at Middlebury...
The computer labs at Middlebury are always available. Sometimes one lab will fill up, but another is almost always open. The classroom buildings, libraries, and dining halls all have wireless Internet, as well as some of the dorms. Not having a computer won't be the end of the world but will probably just be an inconvenience due to the amount of Internet communication that goes on here.

Everyone has their own computer and also can take out laptops at the library. There are so many computer labs around the campus. Printers, however, are frustrating.

Everyone has their own laptop, but during exam weeks, the computers on campus are impossible to get to as people generally print from those. Printers break down a lot, so it might be good to have one in a crisis.

I have my own computer on campus, but I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary. The computer labs always seem to have space and provide a nice environment to work in when studying in my room seems impossible. However, if you’re considering bringing your own computer, I would encourage a laptop since they also free you from having to work in your room, which is something I often find difficult and counterproductive. |

The computer network is fast . . . I would recommend bringing your own computer to campus, though you can always find an open computer in one of the labs. The only downside is that the labs can get noisy. I would recommend a laptop, since there are some great wired places around campus where you can work and have a change of scenery. |
