Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Although campus computer labs can be easily accessed, most students find that having their own computer is essential. Many say it’s easier to take notes on their laptops, but some professors don't allow the use of laptops in class because they find them too distracting. Bringing a personal printer isn’t as crucial, but it may be helpful when you need to print out that last-minute, late-night paper and the computer labs and libraries are closed. There is wireless Internet access across campus that is fairly reliable and fast, although there are rare campus-wide Internet failures. The wireless access also allows students to take advantage of the nice weather, and it's not uncommon to see students studying outside while catching some rays.

Even before arriving on campus, accepted students are given a USD e-mail address to access MySanDiego, which allows them to register for classes and check e-mail. Students should check this e-mail often because professors often send out instructions for papers or to inform students that class is canceled. Some teachers also assign daily online homework, so you need to prepared and have a computer nearby. For some students, laptops are also status symbols—it seems like the majority have a sleek, new MacBook or other super powerful, yet pricey model. However, whatever the model, most students agree that having your own laptop and printer saves times and stress.

Computers Are Always Free and Wireless Is Available

The wireless network at school is excellent. It pretty much works everywhere. I have my own laptop and have no need for the colleges own computers but I am sure they work as well as the wireless network it adopts.

Need More Places to Print from

It would be convenient to have more printing stations around campus so that it doesn't have to be a hassle walking to the other end of campus just to print things before class.
