Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In the past, the campus computer situation yearned for a massive overhaul. Now, the computer situation around campus presents students with countless new-age computing options. From the Educational Technology Center to the wireless networking that exists throughout a majority of the campus, Reed’s revamped computer situation and computer labs allow students numerous opportunities to further their education around campus without having to own a computer. Although students do believe the new computer labs to be an excellent resource, most agree that owning a computer makes the Reed experience much more convenient. Additionally, if you own a computer, Reed’s Computer User Services (CUS) willingly assists anyone with any queries at virtually any hour, making troubleshooting problems a breeze.

Reed outfits nearly every classroom with a new computer as well, allowing professors to take advantage of numerous multimedia resources. Beyond all the services that CIS provides, they also train and designate a number of Terminal Watchers (T-Watchers) whose main job is to assist other students with technological troubleshooting. In short, computers at Reed used to be lacking; but now, they blaze a trail in accessibility, assistance, and overall ease of use.

Great Except for Printing

The labs are really great and there's almost always a computer open in the library and/or the ETC, and typically there are both Apples and PC's available. Each works very well and is rather state-of-the-art in components. Classrooms are also well-endowed tech-wise. The only real annoying aspect of computers at Reed I've encountered is printing fees: 8 cents per page. That may not seem like a lot, but it sure adds up when you've got a professor who's making you print out every 30+ page reading and bring it to class.

Did You Know?

Steve Jobs, the Macintosh guru, donated a collection of Apple computers to Reed a few years back. Jobs, who attended Reed at one point, still maintains a connection with the school.

Reed’s Computer Information Services uses a lottery system to allocate their computers to a decent number of students who do not own computers.
