Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

If you're in the library and you suddenly start hearing people sighing exasperatedly and shouting, "Why, Rhodes?", the Internet connection probably just went out. Unfortunately, this happens more frequently than students would like. The server is very "in and out," sometimes getting cut off for hours at a time. Naturally, it's incredibly frustrating since Rhodes professors rely so much on the Internet for posting assignments and PowerPoint presentations. Moodle is frequently used by professors to post quizzes, homework, and class announcements, and students cannot go more than a few hours without checking email if they don't want to miss anything important. The connection problems have decreased recently, though, as the ITS staff is working to fix current issues and prevent more from arising.

It isn't vital to have your own computer at Rhodes, but it is definitely recommended. It would make your life much easier. While there's usually not a wait to use one of the many campus computers, the computer labs do get crowded during finals week and even right before class, as students rush to print out last-minute papers.

I never have any trouble finding a computer to print from in the library. Labs usually only get crowded during finals and midterms.

Network Reliability and Speed Is Great

The computers at Rhodes College are excellent based on the criteria of network availability and speed, wireless access, printing on campus, and computer labs. There are many computers available on campus, and a student can print 1,000 pages a semester. The network is incredibly reliable and has great speed. Finally the wireless is very easy to access. Despite the positive aspects of computers on campus, a student should still have their own computer, as the available computers around campus fill up fast.

Pretty Tech Savvy but Internet Is Awful

Rhodes seems to have a ton of problems with the internet. They're constantly trying to upgrade it but there are a lot of outages that come at super inconvenient times. However, tech support is great and there are lots of computers and printers around campus for students to use. You can almost always find a computer if you need one (unless the wireless is down).
