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.

Great Computers

There are lots of areas to access computers in the library and all over campus there are labs of computers. Internet and wifi is great but speed is slow in dorms as would be expected.

Great Computers in the Art Department

I spent all of my time in the Art department where there are a couple of different computer labs with 5-10 high quality computers each for general access. They close early so if you often need computer access in the evening, it is better to have your own.
