Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

For obvious reasons, it’s definitely more convenient to have your own personal computer at OU. With their own Mac or PC, students can write papers without leaving their rooms, chat online with old friends from high school, and if they choose to do so, visit sites that are forbidden on University computers. On the other hand, most students agree that surviving college without a computer is far from impossible.

From being at OU, and being around students who, generally speaking, can afford their own computers, or whose parents can afford computers for them, it is easy to think that owning one is a necessity. This is simply not the case, as the University has provided its students with more than enough computer labs, and getting into them is usually not a problem. It is, however, the most convenient—especially around exam time, when computer labs get a high volume of students. Although the server is a little rough at times, there is a number (325-INFO) that has a computer tech on the other line just waiting to help you out, and the best part about it is that they almost never make fun of you while you are still on the phone.

Computer Labs

Even though some computer labs are busy, there are others around campus where we can go and use the computers. Some computers quickly login, and some do not try to not log on at all, or would have to wait several minutes in order for a computer to log on.

Macs and Pcs

Most of the computers are excellent. The campus has both Macs and PCs for easy compatibility with all the students' laptop computers, and all are close to new. The lab in the Gaylord College of Journalism is especially impressive, with a ton of brand new Macs with massive screens and all the most advanced video etc. programs available. Student wifi is sometimes slow, but it is handy nonetheless.

I can get on a computer 24/7 through the computer lab located at the bottom of my tower. There are also labs located in several buildings and the library. Printing has not been an issue for me, they allot $10 for printing, and I only spent $6 last semester. The internet can get slow from time to time, I have had trouble streaming. Wireless is available throughout campus. A personal computer is not necessary, just a bit more accessible and convenient.

Did You Know?

President Boren sends out frequent letters addressing the student body on issues such as budget cuts and tuition increases. In these
e-mails his return address is easily accessible to all students. This is no mistake on his secretaries’ part; he wants to get e-mails from the youngsters that represent his school. So go ahead, e-mail away
