Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Having your own computer in college is a must if you are looking for convenience. The library is equipped with lots of great computers, but going to the library, waiting for a computer, and getting distracted by the hundreds of semi-familiar faces wastes precious time that you will have to make up for later. It is starting to become a bigger trend to see people typing their notes on their laptops in class, but most people still use the library for quick e-mail checks, and especially for printing. If you want to pre-pay to print, a PRINTexpress account can be set up along side a Raider Card account. Every time you print through your PRINTexpress account, funds will be drawn from your Raider Card account. Definitely take advantage of this, but still try and make buying your own computer a top priority.

We are the digital generation, and professors are catching on to that. A full-time student will be taking courses that, more often than not, rely heavily on the Internet or other computer-based conveniences. You can get through many a class without buying the overpriced textbook, but you cannot make it through college without a computer.

High-Tech Digital Lab

There are computer labs in almost every building, and some of the dorms even have labs, but the best lab is the Digital Media Studio in the Library in which they have every program known to man, cameras, iPods, and DVDs available to check out. You can literally make a movie from start to finish with these programs, or design a video game, or design blueprints, or learn a new language, or anything else you can think of.
