Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Davis requires that incoming students bring their own computers, and financial aid is available to help them. The professors communicate via the Internet, and there are lots of course-related e-mails, Web sites, and notes that get distributed daily. Some courses even have online quizzes and midterms, downloadable lecture notes, and practice exams. Most see this as convenient and a way to stay abreast of modern technology. However, it is a change from the classical textbook and lecture way of learning that most experience in high school. College not only opens the doors of the social and academic world, it encourages and enhances the application of technology. With the stellar network the University offers, computers definitely play a role in education.

While students are required to have their own computers, there are also computer labs on campus, and students mainly use them to quickly check their e-mail or to print. Each student receives 250 free prints per quarter. Students should be forewarned that the lines can get pretty long during finals week when everyone is printing research papers. If you have a paper due and do not have a printer, you should get it finished a day or two before your deadline for the sheer fact that waiting in line to print it could cause a late paper. This goes against what has become a universal mentality for college students everywhere: procrastination.

Awesome

The availability of computers on campus is excellent. As a freshman, you get 250 free prints per quarter--more than enough. There are computer labs all around and you won't have trouble finding them.
