Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

For sheer convenience, a personal computer is highly recommended. For those who aren't so fortunate, the libraries and dorm facilities offer plenty of computers, along with other useful equipment. During peak hours, waiting for an open spot can be as long as 15 minutes, but it's usually much shorter. The network system itself is pretty reliable and accessible almost anywhere on campus.

The computer labs are staffed with Resnet Computing Services student workers, and they are usually very helpful, knowledgeable, and able to rectify common problems, like paper jams and frozen computer screens. Unfortunately, students who encounter problems in the residence hall labs tend to have a difficult time acquiring timely help, especially after hours. The Resnet staff has many people to serve and is largely overworked. The simplest way to reduce school-related stress, especially for classes that require online use, is to have a personal computer and printer.

Technology on Campus

There are many computer labs, easily accessible. Wireless access is not great at the residences. It is better to bring ur own computer and printer.

There are a few computer labs and printing areas. There are two major libraries to print from and use computers. The network is pretty fast so it is very convenient on campus.
