Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Good luck finding an on-campus computer if it’s not really early or really late in the day. Computer lab lines are downright scary, and they strike fear into the hearts of many students desperate to get work done. If you’re trying to take a test online at the last minute, you run a serious risk of failing to take it before the deadline if you don’t pay more attention to the competition for an open computer. Students with laptops or PCs definitely have an advantage over those who don’t, because they don’t have to worry about crowded labs. If you need to check your e-mail really quickly, you can use the e-mail stations in the library. But only use them if you’re in a hurry and don’t want to do anything else online because e-mailing is all you’re supposed to use them for. You might as well just use the computer labs if you plan on doing more than just checking up on messages from your friends. Full-service lab computers have everything a typical PC has, so you can do homework, take tests, kill time on the Internet, or do tons of other things. There are eight open labs on campus, but more exist for certain types of students. Depending on your major, you can use other labs, some with Macs. Open labs like the ones mentioned at the beginning of this section are available for all students regardless of major and are never closed for class use.

Computer Lab Efficiency

The computer labs during finals week are always crowded as would be any university you go to, but the difference between Sac State, is they have created a more efficient way to reduce crowding and printing on campus. The way they've done this is the is by putting up 5 monitors around the campus to notify students of the computers that are in use in the various different computer labs. Also the ability for students to connect their computers to the universal printing hub, to reduce the amount of traffic of students in the computer lab.

Computers and Wireless

The dorms are not all equipped with wireless internet which makes it somewhat difficult expecially with all of the lap tops and wireless printers available now. It is very handy to have a printer in your room as going to the printing centers could be crowded if you have a paper or something due and printing done quickly.
