Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

A few words of wisdom to all you procrastinators: if you have a project due during finals week that requires completion in a computer cluster, make sure you have a gallon of coffee in hand, because you’ll need it just to stay awake while you stand in line. Although Notre Dame provides nine computer clusters, four of which are open 24 hours a day, students agree that trying to gain access to a computer during midterms and finals week is a very difficult task. During the rest of the school year, however, most of the students say the network is fantastic. Probably the favorite aspect of the network is the speedy Internet service in both clusters and dorm rooms. While everyone says that it’s not impossible to survive without your own computer, having your own is highly recommended. After all, it’s so much more fun to Instant Message friends from the comfort of your dorm room than a computer lab.

Although there is no way to argue against the freedom, convenience, and comfort of privacy that comes with having your own computer, the number of computer clusters, the existence of clusters in dorms, and the availability of Internet access in dorm rooms makes Notre Dame’s computer network highly efficient. Just remember that it will be hard breezing in and out of computer labs during mid-terms or finals.

Good to Go

There are several computer labs around campus that contain good, fast computers. They have Macs and PCs so students can use what they are most familiar with. The printing system is good beacuse you can print from any computer on campus and pick your document up at any printer. It is definitely a good idea to bring your own laptop because so many assignments are online, but a personal printer is not needed.

The computers on campus do their job, and work. The latter is very important for facilities, because they aren't that fancy, and rather aged, but work well and are reliable. Printing is very easy on campus, and there are a ton of printers, which is amazing.

Not Bad

The computers aren't bad at the school. Although most students on campus have laptops and therefore don't need the computers that are available. As far as the wireless goes it is pretty fast but there are some dead spots and it really is a problem if that dead spot just so happens to be your dorm room.
