San Diego State University - Computers

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

San Diego State’s computer facilities are extremely useful with the variety of programs they offer and the various services they provide. The programs and support offered to students is wonderful, and taking one of the BATS courses offered by the school is highly recommended. Most of the computer labs are located in Love Library and a few others are spread around campus. The supply of computers is very abundant, and there is hardly a time when you cannot find a computer to use in the library. Unfortunately, the time that it is hard to find an available computer is during midterms and finals week. There is usually a wait of anywhere from five minutes to half an hour during this chaotic time. Getting your work done ahead of time or brining your own laptop to school is a great way to get out of waiting in line.

San Diego State has a lot of students to satisfy with its computer labs and, for the most part, the University is meeting demand. However, as previously mentioned, during midterms and finals it can be a real pain to find a computer. If the school slowly increases the number of computers in its possession over the next couple of years, the problem of computer shortage should disappear. Most students only go in during midterms and finals week when they absolutely need to finish their work, and that is why there is such a congestion.

Computer Labs A computers labs do not get too crowded, usually only around midterms and especially finals. But there are plenty of areas to find a computer, there is the 24 hour study area, the computer lab in the library main floor, research computers in the 2nd floor of the dome, and there is even a small satellite computer lab on the other side of campus. During finals they even open up a study lounge with computers in there and free food from time to time. 12345 Computers: March 15, 2010 Report
