College Prowler Take
At UGA, you’ve got dorm labs, the computers in the libraries, and the computers in the Miler Learning Center (MLC) at your disposal. The computers in the MLC are new and extremely fast, while the Internet connection at the Main Library is slow. It is a bit of a hassle to print, because to do so, it must be charged to your UGA ID, and in order to do that, you must have available funds on your card. To put money on your card, you have to go to a “money-card conversion machine.” There are a few in the main library, one in the Tate Student Center, and a few in the MLC. The computers in the dorms have Ethernet service, but be careful downloading music as UGA monitors illegal downloads. The Ethernet in the dorms also hooks up to XBOX Live and The Playstation Network for online video game play. All of the computers in the MLC have been recently upgraded, but for advance computing and graphic design, the MLC has brand new iMacs that dual boot both OS-X and Windows operating systems. The digital media lab and the digital media wing have flatbed scanners and even a free recording studio that can be rented out. Students Speak Out

Our Internet connection in the dorms is down all the time, and it’s really frustrating. I’ll be in the middle of a timed quiz, and it will cut off, and I’ll be screwed. Getting help with stuff like that has also been a huge pain because the EITS people are so hard to get in touch with. |

I would die without my own computer, but plenty of people don’t mind doing all their stuff in the labs, or at the SLC. |

The computers at the SLC are fast, so any time I have something complicated to do, I like to go there. They are much faster than my computer, which even has DSL. There are also scanners, and some software on the SLC computers that you may not have on your own computer. |

I brought my own computer, and I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have one in my room, because I am obsessed with instant messaging, and I check my e-mail probably five times a day. But, plenty of people just use the ones in the dorm labs and at the SLC. |

The computer network is great here. There are computers everywhere. Although not extremely convenient, you could easily come here without a computer and survive four years. The Student Learning Center has a ton of computers and is a great place to use one. |
