Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

To say that "computers are a necessity" is an understatement. Most students bring their own laptops and printers, even if there are many computer labs available to students. Every freshman dorm has a computer lab available 24 hours a day. There are also computer labs in Trexler Library and other academic buildings. Since most students bring laptops, finding a campus computer is pretty easy. Sure, the computers and printers have their occasional glitch, but they are usually reliable. As far as Internet goes, most dorms do not have Wi-Fi, so Muhlenberg's Office of Information Technology (OIT) supplies students with free Ethernet cables their freshman year. But wireless Internet is accessible at Muhlenberg hot spots; you can find these in Seegers Union, the library, and all dorm lounges.

OIT helps students with most computer issues and needs; if OIT can't fix the problem, the staff usually offers suggestions on where to go next. Although printing is free in all computer labs, it is advisable to bring your own paper because the printers usually run out. Even though the campus is mostly PC friendly, Mac lovers should face very few issues. For the most part, school computers and software are Mac compatible. But whether you are a Mac or a PC, be sure to come prepared with backup plans in case a file does not load or the projector screen goes on strike.

Computer Labs at Muhlenberg

The computers are pretty adequate at Muhlenberg College. They become crowded around exam time and often the internet connection is slow.

Pretty Much All the Computer Labs Are Dissatisfying

The computers in the computer labs within the freshman dorm buildings are very slow, some do not print certain documents, some do not even turn on. The printers in the lab tend to not have paper or have little ink. The computers in the academic buildings are better but yet again, printers are usually low in paper or ink. The WiFi is pretty slow, in fact, sometimes I lose connection and have to use the ethernet cord. It is best to have your own printer because the printers everywhere are unreliable but it is not necessary to own your own computer since there are plenty of working computers in the academic buildings and library.

Did You Know?

There is only one computer lab equipped with Macs; the rest only have PCs.

Students can print documents in the library for free, and there is no paper limit per student. 

The Office of Information Technology’s (OIT) Student Help Desk is open seven days a week. It is located in the lower level of Ettinger.

Muhlenberg provides students with free e-mail accounts that they get to keep for all four years. Just about every professor, faculty member, and student organization uses these accounts to send important information, so be sure to check your e-mail regularly.

Unlike some other colleges, Muhlenberg’s OIT services are free to students. Computer problems are always frustrating, but at least your problems can be fixed without spending a penny!
