College Prowler Take
The University of Oregon is as wired as Eugene’s beloved quadruple-shot espresso. It has seven computer labs open to all students that include Macs and PCs, and high-speed Internet is available throughout the dorms and campus buildings. Although there is, at most, only a short wait in the public labs, students recommend bringing a personal computer to combat the stress of not having one readily available. Most can’t imagine life without their own computer. If you choose to depend on the labs, the Knight Library computers are available 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. If you are considering a laptop, it’s important to note that the University’s technology department is rapidly expanding the wireless services available on campus—more than 30 buildings offer wireless access, and the numbers are growing. This allows students the freedom to do research or check e-mail at many different places on campus, as well as at wireless hotspots around town. All dormitories come primed with Ethernet connections, too, allowing students easy access 24 hours a day. With free, updated software provided to all students and ever-growing technological advancements, the University is always ahead of the technology game.

There are computers usually available somewhere on campus but having your own computer is a huge plus. |

It is a good idea to bring your own computer; however, there are heaps of computer labs on campus. The University prides itself on not getting behind as far as technology is concerned. Students have their own e-mail accounts, and all registration is done via the Internet. There are starting to be more and more online courses where you just do the work and don’t have to attend classes. |

The computer labs aren’t crowded unless there is a big project due and everyone is at the labs typing and printing like crazy! All connections are Ethernet, and all the buildings (except the dorms) are wireless. It’s really up to you whether you want to bring a computer. What really matters is what you plan to do with your computer and your chosen major. |

Definitely bring your own computer. Computers are available in the computer labs and other places around campus, but sometimes there is a wait to use them, and you can’t download stuff on them or personalize them. Besides, you will need to have access to a computer a lot, so I would really recommend getting your own. You don’t want to have to rely on your roommate’s either. |

Oregon is recognized by Yahoo as one of the most wired universities in the nation. Laptops in college are excellent because you can take them anywhere to do work (such as the library, coffee shops, or even outside on sunny days). |
