Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In Towson, students are not required to lease or own a computer, but many students agree that it is much more convenient to bring a one to school. Many professors at Towson require students to submit many typed assignments, so it would be difficult for a student to not have a computer. However, a student will be safe without one, since there are so many computers on campus. Towson also offers many labs aside from the computers in Cook Library, and as soon as a student chooses a major, they are often allowed access to that department’s computer lab.

Although the labs are easy to utilize on campus, many students agree that they get crowded during finals and certain hours of the day. Nonetheless, the general agreement about computers is that they are used on a daily basis and are necessary for plenty of assignments, which is why having your own computer could make your experience easier. But, a student could be fine without a computer if they are willing to go to a computer lab for their assignments.

I Want a Computer

Our library has 4 floors, all of them have computers. There is always an available computer! It's not too hard to find a computer lab, plus, some of them even offer free printing. The network is a bit slow, and the wireless access works in the classrooms. However, there are some buildings that do not allow you to connect through wireless connection when walking out in the hallway.

Library Computers

There are plenty of computers on each floor of the library but most of the time they are all taken. Sometimes in the evening there are seats available. The computers run at normal speed, not too slow not too fast. There are printing stations available, you have to buy a $1 card and add money to the card and I believe it's 10 cents per page. All Microsoft software are preloaded on the computers so if you dont have powerpoint on your own computer, you can use the library computers. The campus is completely wifi so you can use your own laptops and tablets anywhere. The only annoying thing is constantly having to log into Towson's secure wifi or guest wifi each time you go online!

Updated but Still Slow

Because of security issues, students and quests now have t download a bundle of software to gain wi-fi access. Computers (at least in the Stephens Hall) and the computer lab has been renovated but are still slow and glitchy--Flash options have been disabled so doing homework concern such programs will need to be done else where.

Printing services should be improved as the only reloading and purchasing station is located in the library.

Did You Know?

“Towson Unplugged,” one of the largest wireless networks in the Baltimore metro area, spans the campus’ 328 acres. This means that you can check your e-mail at the Den while getting lunch with some friends.

Towson University was the first in the region to provide free campus WiFi access to its students, faculty, and staff members. It has since expanded its wireless coverage to provide free WiFi access to the greater Towson community, as well.
