Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In this new, technologically advanced society, students at Pitzer almost unanimously agree that it is necessary to bring a computer to school for either schoolwork or your own entertainment. Pitzer, as well as the rest of the Claremont Colleges, has a wireless network that is accessible to all students. Some students do face a little difficulty with the Wi-Fi in their dorms, but the school provides Ethernet cords for instances such as these.

The Bernard Hall Computer Lab is the main computer lab on campus. It is open 24/7, and students are able to print for a small fee. The computer lab is not often filled to capacity, except of course when it comes to midterms or finals. If the lab does happen to fill, there are three other labs to choose from. Residential Networking, or Resnet, is a crucial part of Pitzer's Information Technology department that takes care of all computer-related needs for members of Pitzer College. The staff is very helpful and can often surprise you with its knowledge of how to fix what seemed to be an impossible problem!

Awesome!

My internet cable is my best friend when I am in my dorm. Other then that, the WiFi around the campus is great! I have never had a severe problem connecting to the internet. As for computer availability, there is many public areas with computers like at the Marque library that can be used as well as the computer lab. I know this because my computer crashed towards the end of my first semester and, luckily, I found these great facilities. But the computer technician, she is the best! She had my computer fixed and running like new within two days.

Hit or Miss

Finding a computer on campus isn't hard and people are very friendly of time restrictions. Most people have their own computers but WiFi is hard to find if you're living in the older dorms. However, an Ethernet cord simply resolves the solution.
